Petronor, part of the Repsol Group, and O.C.O Technology have begun assembling equipment for the Biscay Eco Aggregates plant, a groundbreaking facility in continental Europe for the manufacture of eco-aggregates that capture CO₂. This innovative plant, scheduled to be operational in 2026, is being built at Dock AZ1, consolidating the role of the Port of Bilbao as a hub for energy transition projects.

Using incineration waste and captured CO₂ as feedstock, the synthetic aggregates produced at the new factory will replace natural aggregates in a clear example of the circular economy, avoiding the extraction of natural resources and the accumulation of waste in landfills. A further advantage is that these artificial limestone aggregates will continue to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere once manufactured.
