Solarig will invest 1,150 million in an aviation biofuel plant in Teruel

La compañía soriana especializada energía renewable Solarig has initiated water special Cuenta atrás for planta production la construction Designed for non-flammable aviation At the Teruel (Platea) Logistics Platform. The estimated investment eventually reaches 1,150 million euros, and the project is expected to start in the spring, start work in 2027 and open the complex two years later. It is a big meeting, with a super production capacity of 75,000 tons per year.

According to the official forecast, up to 109 direct jobs and 72 indirect jobs will be created during the maintenance and repair phase.. Construction will be labor intensive and an estimated 1,150 direct and induction jobs are needed to accommodate the refinery, two wind farms and a solar photovoltaic installation that will provide green energy. A template for biomethane compounds, equally invaluable, can be used for the combustible production process designed for construction in Aragon.

With the Climate Summit closed, the company decided to go public with its Turboleta project, announced by HERALDO last June, after confirming that there is enough water underground to meet its high demand.

Synthetic fuel processing plant for aviation Se levantará sobre una surface de cerca de 100,000 square meters de Platea sobre la que Solarig tiene una opción de compra. The main investment will be an electrolyser to produce renewable hydrogen from water, which will be combined with carbon dioxide to produce a biofuel known as SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). With a general reformation at the same time as Biometano.

Considering that the processing plants have a capacity of 480 megawatts, renewable energy for the production process is not insignificant.It is comparable to one half of the seven nuclear reactors in service in Spain. The self-consumption facilities located north of Platea will be connected to the logistics platform through two high-voltage lines that will previously be connected to each other. Konkud.

Las placas fotovoltaicas will cover more than half a thousand hectares Cover a few kilometers parallel to the N-420. The occupation of the farms has already been agreed with their owners, and at the same time they are formalizing the mandatory administrative and construction permits. Ministry for Transición Ecológica. Meanwhile, 29 aerogeneradores que suman los two parques eólicos will be distributed between the municipal conditions. Corbalan, Formiche Alto, El Pobo y Cedrilillas.

Suministro de backup

No obstacle, lRefinería de Platea will be connected to the grid to ensure back-up supply if necessary. For transformers with a capacity of 40 megawatts, it provides solo service for consumers of electricity, megawatts or more. De hecho, ha tramitado la solicitud con Endesa 50 megawatt capacity.

A través de su branch Biorig, el groupo soriano promotes biomethane plantsrepartidas for las tres provincias aragonesas. The most specific, una de ella se ubicará Alfambra (Teruel), otra en Caspe (Zaragoza) and las tres restantes en Alcolea de Cinca, Penalba y Zaidin (Huesca).

Its biomethane production capacity -635 gigawatts per year – and CO2 biogénico -96,000 tons – will meet the raw material needs for its transformation into SAF at the Platea refinery. Additional investment in these facilities will reach 250 million.

There are biomethano elements for agroganaderos residues, which are required 700,000 tons. Fuentes implicadas show that the contracts signed with the various breeders guarantee más de la mitad de la cuantía.

Solarig is confident of securing funding from Europe to support its ambitious industrial plan. The company submitted itself to the “Valles de Hidrogen” call, which was endowed with 1,200 million euros and is awaiting a solution after closing the deadline for the submission of applications on October 29.

The company's bet on Teruel reaches the point of prioritizing this million-dollar investment in SAF's production complex, committed to the Soriana de Garray region and launched last spring by autonomous president Alfonso Fernández Manueco. . In addition, Supera en un tercio la investment comprometida en la comunidad vecina.

In a press release, Miguel Ángel Calleja, president and member of the delegation, announced this Friday that the Platea complex is located in Teruel. “Engage in the production of fuel products in the vanguard position”. He emphasized that the aviation sector has the support of administrations and companies.

Un consumo de agua al del Calatayud is comparable

The viability of a large aviation biofuel production plant has been conditioned on securing the large water supply needed for the production process, and Solarig has uncovered the unknown over the past few months. La clave estaba en comprador que hay suficiente recurso en subsuelo y eso se logró tras dos sondeos en área de Platea. In addition, a depth of 300 meters can be reached.

The company estimates that they need 670,000 cubic meters, which is about the same amount as consumption. CalatayudThe fourth city of Aragon. It is estimated that one-third can be reused, mainly for crop irrigation.

Solarig está pendiente de un ultimo sondeo ya autorizado por la Administración parafinar la solicitud de concesión del acuíferoIt depends on the Jujar Hydrographic Confederation. In this way, the supply will be ensured without straining the needs of Teruel, which depends on the embalse del Arquillo. Consequently, no limitation may apply, but this is not a limitation.
