Used cooking oil can have a second life. Repsol will collect this liquid from its gas stations, which it will then use as a raw material to produce renewable fuels, with zero net CO2 emissions. This is a circular economy initiative that will reward users, who will get discounts on their refueling and on some of the products offered by the company.

Repsol has set up 134 used cooking oil collection points at its service stations in the Community of Madrid so that users can drop off their used cooking oil. For collection, customers can use plastic bottles of at least one liter. Soon, this service will be extended to 150 points.

According to the company, customers can benefit from a discount of 30 cents per liter of used oil delivered. This discount can be applied to an upcoming refueling or to purchase other products at the company’s more than 3,300 service stations.

Repsol ensures that, with this initiative, the company thus promotes the circular economy, by using this oil as a raw material to produce renewable fuels, with zero net CO2 emissions.

“This new service reinforces our bond with the customer, who is the center of our activity. We hope that you will welcome this action with the same enthusiasm with which we are launching it. This initiative also exemplifies our commitment to the circular economy and the decarbonisation of transport, in which we want our customers to participate”, says the general director of Repsol’s Client area, Valero Marín.

The initiative is one of the actions focused on the circular economy and promoted jointly by the company and the Community of Madrid. Several lines of collaboration are established, among which are the promotion of the use of renewable energies in public facilities and the promotion and development of self-consumption models for citizens, through solar and energy communities.

As the company explains, another axis will be the achievement of sustainable and inclusive mobility in the region, with the adoption of multiple sustainable solutions, such as renewable fuels, electric mobility and renewable hydrogen.
