- The company will recycle 700 tons per year of sludge from the treatment of intake water, which will be converted into raw material to produce fertile soil
- This process will also reduce water consumption at the facilities and, consequently, improve process efficiency
- Cepsa has set a target of minimizing, recycling, and recovering 8,000 tons of its operational waste by 2030 (vs. 2019)
By working with new technologies, waste co-processing projects, and synergies with other companies, the company continues to move towards a zero-waste business model In this sense, Cepsa has undertaken different projects such as the partnership with Saint-Gobain Weber to recycle 1,000 tons of waste per year that can be used as a feedstock in industrial mortar production for the construction sector.
For Jorge Acitores, director of the La Rábida Energy Park: "Our facilities must be a reference in implementing a new circular production model that minimizes the use of virgin raw materials and promotes the use of waste, giving it a second life. Innovations such as the one announced today at the La Rábida Energy Park are an example of the commitment included in our 2030 'Positive Motion' strategy to become a reference in the energy transition."
Innovation and investment in water treatment, both upstream and downstream, is a priority for the company. In this respect, the water treatment plant at the La Rábida Energy Park, built in 1990, was a pioneer in Spain in the treatment and reuse of water from its processes. At present, this industrial center recycles close to two million cubic meters of water per year, as stated in its latest public environmental statement.
