- The companies announce the construction of new loading and unloading facilities that will connect to the upcoming 2G biofuel plant, set to become the largest 2G biofuel complex in Southern Europe
As part of the Muelle Sur project, Moeve and Exolum have started building a new terminal for energy products in the Outer Port of Huelva. The project includes the development of a new 511-meter-long berthing dock that will modernize the logistics infrastructure at the La Rábida Energy Park and optimize ship loading and unloading operations.
The Muelle Sur project will facilitate combined loading and unloading operations for both raw materials and products, connecting the Moeve and Exolum facilities through new transportation lines. These lines will extend from the pier to the La Rábida Energy Park and the Exolum storage facility in Huelva. The South Pier will be a key facility in Moeve's decarbonization strategy, serving as the primary entry point for raw materials and exit point for products from the second-generation biofuels production complex that the company is building in Palos de la Frontera.
The Poliducto project is replacing the entire pipeline system connecting the industrial facilities of the Energy Park and EXOLUM to the Torre Arenillas dock, upgrading it with new lines of higher capacity. It will also improve the dock facilities and significantly increase operational safety. This new system, approximately 5 km in length, will provide greater operational flexibility and versatility within the existing facilities, reinforcing Moeve's commitment to efficiency and innovation. The new facilities will also significantly improve operational safety by replacing older systems and upgrading dock infrastructure, allowing for easier and safer ship loading and unloading operations.
These investments reaffirm Moeve, Exolum, and the Port Authority of Huelva’s commitment to driving economic development and improving infrastructure in Huelva. Moeve's business strategy remains focused on sustainability and innovation, with corporate and government partnerships as one of its core pillars.
The Mayor of Palos de la Frontera, Milagros Romero, and the President of the Port of Huelva, Alberto Santana, met with the media along with representatives of the companies and the Deputy Minister of Industry, Energy, and Mining of the Junta de Andalucía, Cristóbal Sánchez. The presentation was also attended by David Toscano, President of the Diputación de Huelva, Lucía Núñez, Territorial Delegate for Economy and Industry, José Correa, Delegate of the Junta de Andalucía, as well as the Presidents of AIQBE and the Chamber of Commerce, and representatives of the Municipality of Huelva.
