Portugal’s Galp Plans to Start Producing Biofuels In 2025
LISBON, Dec 19 (Reuters) – Portugal’s Galp Energia expects to begin producing biodiesel and biojet fuel from waste in an industrial-scale unit it is building at its Sines refinery in 2026, the business, which is mostly an oil manufacturer and refiner, stated on Thursday.
In 2015 Galp participated in a 75%-25% joint endeavor with Japan’s Mitsui to invest 400 million euros ($415 million) in the Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) plant, which will have a production capability of 270,000 metric heaps each year.
It will transform waste materials, such as utilized cooking oils, into eco-friendly biodiesel and biojet fuel, also called sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), using green hydrogen produced by an electrolyser powered by wind or solar power.
Galp stated in a statement it got on Wednesday the three reactors to process biofuels, which will allow the HVO unit to « produce SAF and biodiesel in 2026 … putting Galp at the forefront of developing low-carbon services essential for the energy shift ».
Galp is also 250 million euros in a 100 megawatt (MW) electrolyser unit to produce green hydrogen to power the refinery in Sines. ($1 = 0.9637 euros) (Reporting by Sergio Goncalves;-RRB-
