Repsol and Navantia signed a collaboration agreement to develop innovative solutions to decarbonize maritime transport. In this way, both companies reinforce their commitment to accelerate the energy transition and achieve carbon neutrality.
The two companies will evaluate the performance of new low carbon footprint liquid fuels and synthetic fuels in engines manufactured by Navantia.
In this agreement, Repsol will contribute its research infrastructures from its technology center, the Repsol Technology Lab. Key to the implementation of the project will be the pilot plants and blending laboratories, where Repsol will formulate the widest range of fuels with a low carbon footprint, specifically for maritime transport.
For its part, the Navantia Engine Factory will provide the technical knowledge of the engines and will make its facilities in Cartagena available to the project, as well as test benches and diagnostic equipment for the characterization and development of the tests that, together with a classification society, will certify the viability and sustainability of the technology in operation.
Both companies are also linked in the SHYNE initiative, a multisectoral consortium which brings together a total of 33 companies, associations, technology centers and universities to promote the decarbonization of the economy through renewable hydrogen. Repsol and Navantia, through its CEDETH, will explore new areas of collaboration in hydrogen.
