For some drivers, refueling is part of their driving ritual. Forced Shutdown has become a revolutionary experience at many Repsol service stations these days, allowing you to refuel with 100% renewable fuel. The new fuels in the Nexa range maximize engine performance, keep it in optimal condition and also help reduce carbon emissions in road transport.

What is 100% renewable fuel?

These are fuels produced from renewable raw materials. These are real solutions that are already available on the Spanish market and allow for an immediate reduction in net carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines.

Can it be used on all cars?

Yes, renewable fuels have similar properties to conventional fuels, so they can be used in all vehicles with internal combustion engines, whether gasoline, diesel or hybrid. Additionally, it will be supplied utilizing existing service stations.

Does it have the same benefits as traditional fuels?

Repsol’s Nexa series of 100% renewable fuels provides the maximum performance of premium fuels. To achieve this, it incorporates a unique formulation that optimizes engine performance and keeps it at its best. Additionally, it has been developed and tested on current engines using quality control and the usual standards of excellence for all of the company’s products.

Where can I refuel?

Currently, Repsol supplies: Nexa diesel powered by 100% renewable energy There are 1,480 service stations, which will reach 1,500 by the end of this year, nearly 40% of the network. It is one of Europe’s largest 100% renewable fuel networks, with over 180 million liters sold so far this year.

Additionally, Repsol has added new 100% renewable origin Nexa 95 gasoline to its fuel offering, the company’s highest quality 95 octane gasoline. It is already sold at 20 gas stations in Madrid and Catalonia, and will be sold at a further 30 stations in cities such as Tarragona, Valencia, Zaragoza and Bilbao by the end of the year.

How much will CO₂ emissions be reduced?

Derived from 100% renewable energy, Nexa Diesel reduces net CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to mineral-based diesel alternatives. With 100% renewable Nexa 95 gasoline, the net reduction in CO2 emissions is over 70% compared to conventional gasoline.

Where is it manufactured?

Repsol produces 100% renewable fuel in the industrial centers of Cartagena and Tarragona, putting Spain at the forefront of the energy transition. The Cartagena plant, the Iberian Peninsula’s first large-scale plant, has been in operation since 2024 and has the capacity to produce 250,000 tonnes of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) per year. In addition, the company plans to renovate an old conventional diesel plant in Puertollano (Ciudad Real) to produce 200,000 tons of renewable fuel per year for road and maritime transport starting in 2026. The 100% renewable gasoline is being produced at an industrial center in Tarragona, marking the first time the technological milestone of producing this type of fuel on an industrial scale has been achieved.

Was it designed in Spain?

Yes, the 100% renewable fuels of the Nexa series were designed by scientists at the Repsol Technology Lab, the company’s research and development center in Mostoles (city of Madrid). They have been researching and producing renewable fuels in a variety of ways for over 20 years.

Can it also be used for trucks?

Yes, 100% renewable fuels are one of the key alternatives for reducing carbon emissions from transporting goods and passengers by road. In this area, Repsol has reached an agreement with Sese Group to supply 8 million liters of renewable diesel over the next two years, enabling the company’s truck fleet to cover 26.6 million kilometers.

Why is it important to have access to these new fuels?

Its commercialization demonstrates that it is possible to reduce the carbon footprint of transport through the use of 100% renewable fuels for internal combustion engines, which account for 97% of Spain and Europe’s vehicle fleet and 87% of sales in Spain so far this year.

As you can see, 100% renewable fuel is not science fiction, but a reality available to motorists thanks to Repsol’s Nexa series. Technological innovations now offer ready-to-apply solutions that can help reduce net CO₂ emissions in transportation.
