Apical, through its renewable energy subsidiary Bio-Oils Energy S.A., has set up a joint venture with Spanish energy company CEPSA to produce second generation (2G) biofuels by constructing the largest plant in southern Europe. The alliance marks Apical’s entry to the sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) market and is a key milestone in RGE’s strategy to produce fuels to decarbonise aviation, maritime and land transportation. The new plant will begin operations in H1 2026, and can produce up to 500,000 tons of SAF and/or renewable diesel annually.
The new plant will secure majority of its feedstock supply from Apical’s agricultural waste and residue through a global, long-term agreement. As a large global integrated processor of vegetable oils, Apical is able to efficiently and sustainably extract waste and residue from its supply chain and its processes in a transparent and traceable manner. The plant will be located at Cepsa’s La Rábida Energy Park in the Spanish province of Huelva.
Dato’ Yeo How, President of Apical, said: “Apical’s ample supply of high quality second generation feedstock is key to ensuring that the new joint venture delivers on our shared vision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across air, sea and land transport. The wider use of SAF and renewable diesel provides significant benefits on a global scale, both in terms of mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable economic growth. Apical, through Bio-Oils Energy S.A. will ensure the supply of raw materials and contribute our own expertise in biofuels production”.
