Repsol has achieved a new technological milestone by producing gasoline from 100% renewable sources on an industrial scale. This milestone, achieved at its Tarragona complex, positions Spain and the company at the forefront of the energy transition.This new product, made entirely from renewable sources, is fully compatible with gasoline vehicles without the need for any modifications. Its use reduces net CO2&nbsp;emissions by more than 70% compared to conventional gasoline.&nbsp;Nexa 95 Gasoline of 100% renewable origin&nbsp;- Repsol’s highest-quality 95-octane product - is already available at 20 service stations in Spain, in the Madrid and Catalonia regions. The company expects to reach 30 stations by the end of this year, in other Spanish cities such as Tarragona, Valencia, Zaragoza, and Bilbao.With this new fuel, Repsol expands its range of renewable fuels, adding it to the already available&nbsp;Nexa Diesel of 100% renewable origin. This demonstrates that decarbonizing transport with renewable liquid fuels is a viable solution for combustion engine vehicles, whether gasoline, diesel, or hybrid. These vehicles today represent 97% of the Spanish and European vehicle fleet, and 87% of sales in Spain so far this year.To meet the climate targets set by Spain and the European Union, it is essential to recognize the role of 100% renewable fuels and, consequently, to reconsider the EU regulation on CO2&nbsp;emission standards, which proposes a ban on combustion engines by 2035. The uncertainty caused by this measure has led to considerable aging of Spain’s vehicle fleet, with an average age of 14.5 years and 8.5 million vehicles — nearly one-third of the total fleet — over 20 years old.To accelerate the development of renewable fuels, it is essential to establish long-term targets — similar to those already in place for the aviation and maritime sectors — and introduce a favorable tax framework. These measures would provide the certainty needed to drive investment in more efficient engine technologies within the automotive sector.&nbsp;
