The Minister of Environment, Agriculture and Interior of the Community of Madrid, Carlos Novillo, highlighted today the commitment of the regional government «By an accessible and efficient energy transition through incentive policies that promote decarbonization ».
Novillo has participated in the inauguration of the first institutional act of the Tour d’Uroa route that will travel several European countries to aware of renewable fuels And that today has officially begun with a day held in the trace Madrid, in the capital.
Epicenter of the European Tour
«Madrid is located in the epicenter of this European tour, of these renewable fuels that are essential for that ecological transition, for decarbonization and to be able to achieve the objectives against global warming, ”said the counselor.
As a Novillo argument he has expressed that “they are fuels that allow emissions to become zero emissions, since they come from agriculture by -products, they occur through methanol and From the Community of Madrid what we want is to boost that technological neutrality that allows us to make an orderly transition ».

The Tour d’Uro initiative, led by representatives of the energy and car sector, promotes the decarbonization of transport through the use of renewable fuelsTrucks with biofuels
He Tour d’Uro, The return to Europe of Trucks with biofuelsstarted and made a stop in the La Rábida Energy Park a few days ago Moeve In Palos de la Frontera (Huelva).
On this scale, one of the trucks has traveled the facilities where the company produces biofuelsalso through its new 2G biofuel plant in construction.
After this stop in Huelva, the vehicles They will continue traveling in Spain to travel by total 2,700 kilometersreposting in service stations and prioritizing the use of biofuels.
To this route will be joined along the European continent to end the full tour in June in Brussels with the aim of demonstrate the viability of the use of renewable diesel HVO100 To boost the decarbonization of heavy road transport, in line with the objective of the European Union to reduce its emissions of 55% in 2030 until climate neutrality in 2050.
