CHAPTER 5 Our responsible management in 2018 Environment
Raw materials consumption figures for this year are as follows:
Most of the increase in consumption of these materials during the year was in the Chemicals unit because of great- er activity at the Indonesia plant. Here, the consumption of renewable raw ma- terials, specifically crude palm oil to pro- duce alcohols, totaled 71,053 thousand tonnes.
The rise in renewable raw materials con- sumption by the Commercial unit is also notable and was primarily due to the Cepsa Bioenergía San Roque plant oper-
ating at full capacity all year compared to in 2017 when it was only at full capac- ity three months and at half capacity two months. The figures for prior years are therefore considerably lower.
We also monitor recycled hydrocar- bons deriving from the management of MARPOL at our refineries that are adapt- ed to process this type of waste. Dur- ing 2018, 60,903 tonnes of this type of waste were handled, with a total of 1,312 tonnes of hydrocarbons being recycled.
RAW MATERIALS BY SOURCE AND BUSINESS AREA (THOUSANDS OF TONNES)
1 The 2018 figures are an estimate by the company using figures for 2017 and those obtained from the 2018 Provisional Declaration submitted to Ecoembes. 2 For the Refining business unit, about 80% of raw materials are reported, in so far as the report includes both tonnes of processed crudes and the quantity of substances from renewable sources used in processes. The figures for 2016 and 2017 have been recalculated to exclude ASESA as figures for this asset are not included in 2018.
3 For the Chemicals business unit, figures comprise the main tonnage of raw materials for processing. The volume of chemicals is not reported.
