Collection of used cooking oil to produce renewable fuels
Repsol has set up 134 collection points for used cooking oil at its service stations in the Autonomous Region of Madrid in Spain. This is a new service that the company offers to its customers to facilitate the sustainable management of this domestic waste. The company thus promotes the circular economy by using this cooking oil as a raw material to produce renewable fuels, with zero net CO2 emissions.
This initiative is carried out in collaboration with the regional government in Madrid. The regional minister for the Environment, Housing, and Agriculture, Paloma Martín, today presented the project together with the executive managing director of Repsol’s Client business, Valero Marín, at one of the company’s service stations in Las Rozas, 20 kilometers north of the Spanish capital.
Valero Marín said that “this new service reinforces our bond with our customers that are at the center of our activity. We hope that they will welcome this initiative with the same enthusiasm with which we are implementing it. It also underlines our commitment to the circular economy and the decarbonization of transport, an effort that we want to make our customers part of”.
Paloma Martin stressed that “it is important to remember that one liter of this liquid can contaminate 1,000 liters of water. The recycling of this product is also fundamental to avoid damage to pipes, since, in most cases, it is disposed of in the sink”.
For the collection of used cooking oil, customers can use plastic bottles of at least one liter, and deposit it at any of the 134 Repsol service stations that currently have this service. In the coming weeks, this service will be expanded to 150 collection points.
Users of the Waylet application will also be able to benefit from a discount of €0.30 per liter of used cooking oil delivered at the points available in the Madrid region. The discount can be applied for the next refueling or purchase other products at the company’s more than 3,300 service stations in Spain.
