Hydrogen: Spain. BP and Iberdrola could expand their 25MW green hydrogen plant at the British oil major’s refinery in Spain, after the Spanish government approved the reallocation of €211m ($239.5m) in subsidies. The project will  explore opportunities to increase green hydrogen at BP’s Castellón refinery, where they have completed construction of a 25MW electrolysis plant that will replace grey hydrogen with green.

Marine fuels: United Kingdom. ExxonMobil successfully supplied a B30 0.50% sulphur marine residual fuel blend (B30 VLSFO), made using fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) Distillation Residue, to Wallenius Wilhelmsen. The bio marine fuel blend was bunkered by the vehicle carrier Titus in Zeebrugge ahead of the sea trial, marking a significant milestone in ExxonMobil’s journey towards supplying the marine industry. The fuel shares similar drop-in properties to a B30 VLSFO made with FAME produced from used cooking oil (UCOME). Link 26/06/2026.

Renewable diesel: Brazil. Acelen Renewables confirmed a $1.5 billion (€1.29 billion) investment to develop one of Brazil’s largest integrated biorefineries dedicated to sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel, marking a major expansion of the country’s low‑carbon fuels sector. The project will use non‑food Carnaúba and Macaúba energy crops, grown on degraded land to avoid competition with food production. The facility is expected to begin operations in 2026, with projected output reaching 1  billion litres per year of renewable fuels once fully scaled. Link 26/06/2026.
