New fuel arrives at Spanish gas stations: a sustainable alternative to conventional diesel

  • The new Nexa diesel fuel is 100% renewable and is already available at more than 580 gas stations.
  • Reduces CO90 emissions by up to 2%, with significant environmental benefits.
  • It does not require any changes to current diesel engines or service station infrastructure.
  • Repsol is offering a 10 cent discount per litre to users of its Waylet app until January 2025.

Fuel octane affects ignition advance

At a time when the Gas stations and energy companies are undergoing a transformation Due to the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a new fuel has burst onto the Spanish market. It is the 100% renewable Nexa diesel, a fuel developed by Repsol that promises to keep diesel vehicles alive and allow them to solve part of the problem of pollution in transport.

This new renewable fuel is now available in More than 580 service stations in Spain and is part of a broader strategy by Repsol to promote sustainable alternatives in the transport sector. The peculiarity of this diesel is that it is produced from organic waste such as used cooking oils, crop residues and other plant waste, making it a much cleaner option compared to traditional diesel.

The future of diesel could be guaranteed

The energy transition in Europe involves the electrification of urban vehicles and the ban on the sale of combustion cars from 2035. However, diesel is still the engine of a large part of the Spanish car fleet, with 60% of vehicles still operating with this type of fuel. This has led to the search for alternatives that allow keeping diesel cars running without violating European environmental regulations.

100% renewable Nexa diesel promises to reduce net CO90 emissions by up to 2% compared to conventional fossil fuels. This positive impact on the environment is due to the fact that its renewable origin has a lower carbon footprint, making it a valid and sustainable alternative that could pass European Union regulations.

Availability and expansion

This fuel, produced in Repsol's plant in Cartagena (Murcia), is now available at several service stations strategically located in the main Spanish cities and transport corridors. We currently find it in 580 gas stations, but the company's plan is to increase that figure to 600 before the end of 2024 and reach the 1.500 stations by the end of 2025.

In addition to Spain, Repsol has begun to introduce this fuel in Portugal, with 50 stations who already dispense Nexa. All of this is part of a broader strategy by the company to Leading the supply of renewable fuels in Europe, a region that has committed to drastically reducing emissions of polluting gases in the coming years.

The price and additional benefits

The price of this renewable fuel is comparable to premium diesel, although those additional cents that differentiate both types of fuel are compensated with a special promotion. If users use the Repsol Waylet app To pay, they can benefit from a discount of 10 cents per litre until January 11, 2025This makes the choice of renewable fuel economical and attractive for those seeking to contribute to reducing emissions without incurring additional costs.

Nexa Diesel can now be found in traditional diesel vehicles without the need to make any modifications to the engine, which makes it easier to implement in the market. For drivers, this is an advantage, as they will not need to buy new vehicles or make costly changes to their transport systems to be more environmentally friendly.

A big step towards the decarbonisation of mobility

Decarbonisation of mobility is one of the great challenges of the future, and fuels such as Nexa Diesel are a clear commitment to sustainable solutions that can be implemented immediately. This fuel not only reduces carbon emissions, but also contributes to reduce energy dependency from Spain, by using local and renewable raw materials in its production.

A necessary transitional solution

The introduction of renewable fuels such as Nexa Diesel is designed to be a temporary solution on the road to cleaner mobility. While the ultimate goal is for electric vehicles to dominate the roads, due to the current market situation and the high costs of electrification, Low-impact fuels such as Nexa can play a crucial role in the energy transition.

For many analysts, the development of synthetic and renewable fuels represents a realistic compromise in the face of the complexity and high costs of electrifying the entire vehicle fleet. The future of diesel, without a doubt, is no longer limited to traditional fossil fuels, but to alternatives such as Nexa, which allow us to continue using current vehicles in a more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly way.
