Farms and cities produce millions of tonnes of organic #waste every year, in the form of food waste, old cooking oils and agricultural refuse. But what if this potential pollution could be converted into clean fuels to power cars, planes and ships? Here, @Repsol CEO Josu Jon Imaz talks us through the innovative facilities using hundreds of thousands of tonnes of unwanted waste to power a #low-carbon future. A new World Economic Forum report, Fuelling the Future: How Business, Finance and Policy can Accelerate the Clean Fuels Market, highlights the critical role clean #fuels will play in the future energy system.
