Funded Projects

The 651-C-H heat exchangers have been replaced, featuring improved characteristics compared to the existing equipment, to recover more heat from the product that must be cooled, which reduces fuel gas consumption in the F-1 unit's loading furnace.

This project received €681,629.61 in aid from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE), and managed by the Catalan Institute for Energy, with the aim of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

This upgrade has led to energy savings of 766.24 toe/year and 1,793 tCO₂/year in emissions avoided.

Two new heat exchangers, 613-E-9-C and 613-E-104-C, were installed in series with the current exchangers, 613-E-9-A/B and 613-E-104-A/B, in order to recover more heat from the so-called "atmospheric waste," which will lead to a reduced consumption of fuel gas in the 613-F-1 furnace thanks to the preheating of crude oil feedstock.

This project received €131,411.69 in aid from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE, in Spanish), and managed by the Catalan Institute for Energy, with the aim of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

These modifications have led to an energy savings of 603.54 toe/year and 1,412.3 tCO₂/year in emissions avoided, as well as a reduction in natural gas purchases at the Tarragona Industrial Complex.

At the Repsol Petróleo industrial complex in Tarragona, a new compressor was installed for the Flare Gas Recovery Plant (U 425), with the aim of recovering the fuel contained in the gas from processing units that otherwise would be used for flaring. In this way, 1,321.73 toe/year of thermal energy would be recovered, thereby avoiding 2,757.11 tons of CO2/year of emissions into the atmosphere, and which means a direct savings of natural gas at the complex.

The €2,383,363.63 project received aid worth €715,009.09 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by IDAE, administered by the autonomous communities, and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

We are carrying out an energy efficiency improvement project at the Repsol Lubricants and Specialized products Asphalts plant in Cartagena that consists of the installation of two new thermal oil boilers with natural gas burners, of 2 MM kcal/h each. They incorporate air preheaters that recirculate the combustion fumes to preheat the boiler supply air and thus reduce the consumption of fuel, which will translate into a reduction of 271 mt of CO2 per year, from the installation's main source of energy consumption, and represents an energy saving of 81.46 tep/year.

The €730,000-project, part of Repsol's plan for the reduction of emissions, has received aid amounting to €129,314 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE, in Spanish), administered by the Institute of Development of the Region of Murcia (INFO Región de Murcia, in Spanish), and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

At the Repsol Petróleo industrial complex in Cartagena, a new compressor was installed for the Flare Gas Recovery Plant (U 468), with the aim of recovering the fuel contained in the gas from processing units that otherwise would be used for flaring. In this way, 8,937.95 toe/year of thermal energy would be recovered, thereby avoiding 20,629.68 tons of CO2/year of emissions into the atmosphere, and which means a direct savings of natural gas at the facility.

The €925,537-project received aid worth €277,661.10 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by IDAE, administered by the autonomous communities, and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

At the Repsol Petróleo industrial complex in Cartagena, a new energy recovery system was installed that will increase the efficiency of the 601F-001 furnace in the crude oil atmospheric distillation unit, Topping 4 (U601). This will lead to a savings of 1,384.56 toe/year of thermal energy, avoiding 3,239.85 tonnes of CO2/year of emissions into the atmosphere, which means a direct savings of natural gas at the facility.

The €2,276,629.00 project received financial aid worth €682,988.70 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by IDAE, administered by the autonomous communities, and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

At the Repsol Petróleo industrial complex in Cartagena, a new energy recovery system was installed that will increase the efficiency of the 651F-001/002 furnaces in the Hydrocracker Unit (U651). This will lead to a savings of 1,120.17 toe/year of thermal energy, avoiding 2,621.21 tonnes of CO2/year of emissions into the atmosphere, which means a direct savings of natural gas at the complex.

The €1,529,179.00 project received financial aid amounting to €458,753.70 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by IDAE, administered by the autonomous communities, and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.

At the Repsol Petróleo industrial complex in Cartagena, a new energy recovery system was installed that will increase the efficiency of the 682F-001 furnace in the DM3 Medium Distillate Hydrotreatment unit (U682). This will lead to a savings of 757.82 toe/year of thermal energy, avoiding 1,773.30 tonnes of CO2/year of emissions into the atmosphere, which means a direct savings of natural gas at the facility.

The €1,336,216.00 project received financial aid in the amount of €400,864.80 from the financial assistance fund for energy efficiency and savings in SMEs and large businesses in the industrial sector, which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), coordinated by IDAE, administered by the autonomous communities, and paid out of the National Energy Efficiency Fund, with the objective of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable economy.
