Moeve has begun supplying Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a 100% renewable diesel, at its Service Station on the airside of Barcelona’s El Prat Airport, fueling all ground vehicles working at the facility
This second-generation (2G) biofuel provides an immediate solution for decarbonizing the airport’s ground fleet, cutting CO₂ emissions by up to 90%
Moeve produces 2G biofuels from used cooking oils in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva), where it is currently building the largest HVO and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production complex in southern Europe

Moeve has begun supplying 100% renewable diesel (HVO) at its Service Station on the airside of El Prat Airport—the area around the runways—making it the first company in Spain to feature HVO at an airport service station. This station fuels the entire fleet of ground vehicles operating at the facility, which means that all ground operations by airlines and handling companies at Barcelona’s airport will be able to decarbonize their activities from this point forward.

Compared with conventional fuels, HVO can cut CO₂ emissions by up to 90% across its entire life cycle, from production to use. Its chemical composition is similar to that of fossil fuels, allowing it to be used immediately without any modifications to engines, storage, or distribution infrastructure.

“With the supply of HVO at El Prat Airport, we’re bringing this second-generation biofuel (2G) to airport facilities and taking another step forward in our firm commitment to make the aviation sector more sustainable, a commitment that we are already moving forward with the supply of SAF at Spain’s main airports".

Pierre-Yves Sachet - executive vice president of Mobility at Moeve.

Moeve produces HVO from used cooking oils at its La Rábida Energy Park in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) as part of a process that promotes the circular economy. To ensure a steady supply for its land, sea, and air transportation customers, the company is also building—together with Bio-Oils—the largest second-generation biofuel complex in southern Europe, which will have an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of HVO and SAF.

Moeve aims to become a benchmark for the energy transition this decade and to lead renewable fuel production in Spain and Portugal, with an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons.
