Repsol and Bunge (NYSE: BG) have announced a significant advancement in renewable fuels development in Europe through the incorporation of intermediate novel crops. The initiative focuses on processing camelina and safflower into low-carbon intensity oils for producing hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

These intermediate crops can achieve emission reductions of up to 90% compared to conventional diesel. Repsol will utilize advanced technology in its industrial assets to create a new pathway for renewable fuels in Spain.
