- Port of Bilbao Biodiesel Plant
It is the second such facility owned by the company in Spain and will produce 200,000 tonnes of biodiesel a year, making a 27% contribution to the target figure for the penetration of biodiesel in Spain for 2009.
The biodiesel produced annually in the Bilbao plant will prevent the emission of 496,000 tonnes of CO2 per year from conventional diesel fuel in transport. This represents a cleansing effect on the atmosphere equivalent to the photosynthesis of 25 million trees.
This level of production will also prevent the need to import the equivalent of 1.3 million barrels of oil per year.
This plant will cover peak and emergency demands in Baja California, and is the first of this kind of technology in the state.
ACCIONA Industrial carried out the design, supply, construction and start-up of a 42-MW power generation plant.
