The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) has granted an administrative concession for the development and operation of a renewable fuels processing and production facility at the Port of Sagunto. The concession, awarded to FIVE NEXT USEOIL SOLUTIONS, SL – UCO TRADING SPAIN, SL, is valid for a 25-year period. This strategic move underscores Valenciaport's commitment to fostering sustainable practices and reducing the environmental footprint of maritime operations.
This development is part of a growing trend within the shipping industry to explore and adopt alternative, cleaner fuels to meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations and achieve decarbonization targets. The establishment of such a plant at Sagunto will provide a local source for renewable fuels, supporting vessels calling at Valenciaport and potentially other nearby ports.
