Joining forces to curb CO2 emissions

Biodiesel, the new fuel alternative.

We have a biodiesel production plant in the Industrial Park of Curtis-Teixeiro. We seek to promote the circular economy by transforming plant and animal waste into biofuel. We produce from industrial processes that allow us to transform organic waste into biodiesel.

Biovigo Energy S.L. is a Galician company dedicated to the recovery of organic waste.

Curtis - Teixeiro Plant - A Coruña

Location

Our biodiesel production plant is located within the Curtis-Teixeiro industrial park. Located on Calle Mesía, plot E-11, in the province of A Coruña.

Production

The plant has an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of biodiesel and 3,000 tons of glycerol.

Supplying

The raw material we use comes from waste vegetable oils and animal fats.

Location

The proximity of our plant to the ports of Ferrol and Vigo, contributes to an efficient supply and sale of the product, thus reducing CO2 emissions.

Biodiesel

What is Biodiesel?

Biodiesel is a biofuel obtained through a process called transesterification, from used cooking oils, oleins and second-use animal fats. After pretreatment and chemical reactions, the residue is transformed into biodiesel suitable for use in internal combustion diesel engines.

This product is mixed with fossil fuel diesel oil, in different percentages, thus contributing to the reduction of emissions which gives us the best alternative to replace traditional diesel oil totally or partially. Biodiesel is presented as an environmentally friendly alternative for powering diesel engines. By using this type of fuel, we contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and, consequently, to slowing down global warming.

Biodiesel means making progress without jeopardizing the energy supply of future generations.

Biovigo Energy produces biodiesel in compliance with European and American standards, according to UNE EN 14214 and ASTM D6751.

Advantage
  • Environmentally friendly fuel.
  • Biodiesel does not contain sulfur, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
  • Reduction of CO2 gas emissions by almost 92% compared to other fossil fuels.
  • It is biodegradable, and in the event of a spill and/or accident it does not endanger the soil or groundwater.
  • It can be transported more easily.
  • Improves combustion, reducing soot emissions (up to 55%, black smoke disappearing).
  • Contribute to the circular economy through production from used cooking oils.
  • It has a high lubricating power and protects the engine, reducing wear and maintenance costs.
  • It can be mixed with gas oil from oil refining in different quantities (B7, B10, B15, B20, B30 or B50).
  • Real alternative to fossil fuels.

By-product

Glycerin

Glycerol obtained as a by-product in the biodiesel manufacturing process (transesterification stage).

Multiple applications: biogas plants, component in construction additives, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetic industry, food and chemical sector.

Advantage
  • It contributes to achieving the objectives of the European Directive 2003/30/CE.
  • High quality by-product with multiple uses.
  • It contributes to the circular economy and the revaluation of waste.
  • It is used as an additive in construction, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry and in the food and chemical sectors.

Sustainability

Biovigo Energy S.L. has in the process of accreditation the traceability of the products and by-products it markets, complying with European sustainability regulations, the RED Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC) and Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (consolidated version) of the Parliament European and Council of December 11, 2018, regarding the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, through the ISCC EU RED II certification.

Sustainability is the DNA of our organization.

Committed to environmental protection and climate change. We valorize waste, transforming it into a sustainable biofuel.

We are a multidisciplinary team of 20 people working to build the basic pillars that make our organization an example of sustainable development.

Company committed to the development of the rural environment and circular economy.
