- The Ecoslops Unit has started the production of recycled fuel.
- The Unit will produce up to 30,000 tons per year of recycled fuel.
- The Ecoslops relied on local companies to build the unit.
The Ecoslops P2R1 unit has just started-up at the TotalEnergies La Mède platform in Bouches-du-Rhône, France. The production of the first liters of recycled fuel consolidates the agreement signed in 2019 between TotalEnergies and Ecoslops SA2, says a press release published on their website.
The Ecoslops Unit
The Ecoslops unit will produce, from these residues, up to 30,000 tons per year of recycled fuel (Naphtha, Gasoil and Fuel oil) and light bitumen. This circular business model, applied to petroleum waste, allows the revalorisation of these residues from maritime transport, and the creation of value locally.
The La Mède platform
“The start-up of the Ecoslops unit is fully in line with TotalEnergies’ circular economy and energy transition ambitions at La Mède platform. Acquiring an equity interest in Ecoslops Provence in 2019 reaffirmed our position as a strong player in the local economy and we are now further consolidating our site’s industrial redeployment project”, states Stéphane Cambier, Director of the La Mède platform.
Local support
Ecoslops relied on the support of local companies to build the unit, placing 75% of its orders with them.
