Our pilot plants recreate small-scale processes. Equipped with high-tech equipment, they reproduce the same processes that are carried out in industrial complexes, with real-life conditions and monitoring all variables. Its objective is to:

  • Test new raw materials
  • Optimize the efficiency of operations
  • Maximize operations

In technological innovation, the key is to reach Repsol's commitment of net zero emissions by 2050. The talent and dedication of our scientists and technologists and our open innovation model, allow us to drive solutions that are transforming the energy sector.
