On 3 December Repsol Chairman, Antonio Brufau, and the Mayor of Madrid, Alberto Ruiz Gallardón signed an outline collaboration agreement committing them to develop the use of AutoGas (liquefied petroleum gas) in the city of Madrid. The agreement includes measures to promote and successfully implement the use of this fuel. The signature took place today at the Repsol service station in the T2 terminal at Barajas Airport.
Repsol is committed by this agreement to installing the necessary infrastructure in its service station network in Madrid for refuelling AutoGas, and to planning and collaborating with the different measures to promote its use.
Alternatively, the Madrid City Council will facilitate the implementation of this fuel, and speed up the procedures for obtaining the necessary permits for selling AutoGas at the Repsol services stations in the city of Madrid.
Moreover, both Repsol and the Madrid City Council will participate in promotional activities, sponsoring public events and technical conferences that are designed to promote the use of this fuel and its benefits.
Repsol is developing a nationwide project that will include the installation of 80 AutoGas points of sale by the end of 2010 some of which, such as the service station in the T2 terminal in Madrid Barajas, are already operative.
