- Moeve invested up to 33.8 million euros in 2025 in environmental improvements at its La Rábida Energy Park and Palos Chemical Plant
- During this time, these Moeve facilities operated using 100% renewable electricity. They also achieved their lowest water consumption in over a decade and recovered more than 70% of their waste
- The presentation coincides with the 25th anniversary of Laguna Primera de Palos, a benchmark in environmental recovery
Today, Moeve presented the 2025 Environmental Statement for La Rábida Energy Park and the Palos Chemical Plant at an event held at the University of Huelva for residents and students.
As of 2025, the company had invested over 33.8 million euros in environmental improvements to both facilities through energy efficiency projects, emissions reduction, soil improvement, and water cycle optimization. Notable actions include new infrastructure for water recovery and process improvements to promote more sustainable fuels.
Both facilities operated in 2025 with electricity from 100% renewable sources, meaning the reduction of almost half a million tons of CO2 since 2019.
The chemical plant has initiated the use of biomethane as an alternative energy source, reducing fossil CO2 emissions by 2,017 tons. Additionally, the portfolio of sustainable products in the Next range has been expanded with the new NextPhenol-Low Carbon.
In terms of resources, the La Rábida Energy Park has achieved the lowest water consumption in the last decade, reducing its usage by 17.8% compared to 2020. The park expects to recover up to 2.5 hm3 of water annually through new facilities, such as the water reuse plant currently under construction. This plant will supply water to the park's new projects. Similarly, the complex has managed to valorize up to 71.3% of its waste and 88.3% of the waste at the Palos Chemical Plant. This is the best figure recorded to date and promotes the circular economy by giving waste, such as sludge from raw water treatment or the catalyst from its process units, a second life.
Additionally, Moeve announced that it received 203 million euros in aid through the European Commission's Innovation Fund program for the development of its Luxia project, which will connect green hydrogen production with other units.
Furthermore, the statement highlights initiatives promoted by Fundación Moeve, such as Laguna Primera de Palos, a leading area in environmental conservation and restoration that celebrates its 25th anniversary this June. Up to 30 hectares of this wetland were restored by the end of 2025, providing refuge for 80 threatened species.
The statement is framed within the European EMAS system, a voluntary tool that accredits environmental performance through independent audits and regular publication of results, as well as continuous improvement.
