Worley will provide engineering, procurement and field engineering support services including the feedstock pretreatment facilities
Cepsa Bioenergia San Roque SL (CBSR), a joint venture between Cepsa and Bio-Oils (subsidiary of Apical), has awarded Worley a services contract for the expansion of CBSR’s renewable fuel complex in Huelva, Spain, including a new biofuel plant.
Cepsa and Apical state that, when completed, the new biofuel plant is expected to become one of the largest second-generation biofuel plants in southern Europe, supporting lower carbon aviation, maritime and land transportation. The new biofuel plant will be designed to feature flexible annual production of 500,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel (hydrogenated vegetable oil or HVO), doubling the current complex’s production capacity to 1 million tonnes per annum. The new biofuel plant is scheduled to commence production in 2026.
Under the contract, Worley will provide engineering, procurement and field engineering support services including the feedstock pretreatment facilities, outside battery limit fuel pre-treatment units, and wastewater treatment plant. Worley categorizes this contract as sustainable work in accordance with Worley’s definition of sustainability-related work.
Under the contract, Worley will provide the services through Worley’s office in Singapore with support from our Spain and Global Integrated Delivery (GID) teams in India.
“We are pleased to work with the CBSR joint venture between Cepsa and Bio-Oils, on this large second-generation biofuel plant, which is consistent with our purpose of delivering a more sustainable world,” said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer, Worley.
