The new facility located in the Exterior Port area will be used to ship out the new fuels and receive the necessary raw materials.
Cepsa will invest around 100 million euros in a new quay in the Exterior Port. The facility will serve as an outlet platform for the second generation biofuels to be manufactured at the soon-to-be-built plant (work will begin before the end of the year) as well as for the maritime connection of the La Rábida Energy Park with the heart of Europe via the port of Rotterdam.
The work will be located between the current Decal wharf and the extension of the container terminal on the South wharf. It will serve both outbound and inbound raw materials. The new plant will be connected to the quay, from where it will receive the products for processing. Once inside, there will be a part dedicated to storage, treatment and manufacture. Subsequently, the processed biofuel will return to the exclusive storage area for its subsequent departure by sea.
Cepsa has already received the favourable Environmental Impact Statement, so it will be able to begin work as soon as all the corresponding procedures have been completed. The entry into service of the new quay is linked to the construction deadlines for the plant presented a few weeks ago at the La Rábida Energy Park. This is a key platform, as it will be the starting point for fuels as well as green hydrogen transformed into ammonia. The biofuel production centre should be operational in 2026, while H2 exports should begin in 2027, according to Cepsa’s previously announced plans.
