Sustainable mobility

The battery will play a key role in electric mobility in the coming years. At the Repsol Technology Lab, we are developing the next generation of batteries to be safer and cheaper and to hold more energy than today's batteries. We are looking into ways of reducing charging times and working so that these developments are also applied to the generation of renewable electric energy. We also developed a new range of fluids specifically for hybrid and electric vehicles to ensure the best lubrication and cooling of their main components.

With sustainability as a priority, we are working on new products to extend the engine's premiere performance and reduce consumption, therefore lowering its carbon footprint. An example is the high-end Repsol Efitec 100 Neotech fuel, inspired by competition, which allows for a more than 18% reduction in consumption and CO₂ emissions in engines optimized for its use.

We guarantee the functioning of new engines while reducing the environmental impact and carbon footprint of our commercial products. To do so, we develop new lubricants that, given their lower viscosity and formulation with increasingly more sophisticated technologies, contribute to an improvement in engine efficiency by consuming less fuel, and therefore, reducing CO₂ emissions.

AutoGas is the most widely-used alternative fuel in the world and one of the most sustainable options on the market for mobility, given its combustion that hardly generates any particles and complies with the most stringent emission limits, leading to a 15% reduction in CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere compared with gasoline vehicles. We are working to ensure that this alternative fuel can be used in all types of vehicles, regardless of their size, in order to reduce their environmental impact and the transport sector’s carbon footprint.

We are seeking solutions to improve the sustainability of maritime mobility. To do so, we not only work on the formulation of low-sulfur fuel oils but also on the continuous improvement of the overall quality of the final products in order to adapt them to different engines and operating conditions in marine environments, just as we adapt our lubricants to the new operating conditions.

This project allows us to understand and anticipate how the energy used for transportation can play a role in overcoming present and future mobility challenges.

SPAIN2017 is a hybrid that combines the most efficient technologies: electrification, direct injection, and the recovery of energy from exhaust fumes, all with a sophisticated control unit capable of managing that union.
