In this regard , Exolum ’ s commitment to the energy transition and decarbonization involves not only the decarbonization of its own activity , but also the promotion of sustainable fuels of the future with the cooperation of its customers .
As such , Exolum is currently working on the development of new energy vectors like advanced biofuels made from recycled waste , as well as synthetic fuels , hydrogen , and its derivatives .
When it comes to sectors that are notoriously difficult to electrify – including aviation , maritime , and heavy transport – organizations will rely on these new vectors , which are being pioneered by companies like Exolum , in order to decarbonize .
Sustainability strategy
“ Our strategy for the future involves adapting our existing infrastructure ,” says
Jorge , “ which means building more when required and developing other services to promote a decarbonized energy transition .
“ In this regard , we can highlight five main pillars ,” he reveals . “ The first , as I ’ ve noted , is our involved pledge to advance biofuels , which represents a great opportunity to support the decarbonization of transport .
“ These biofuels can be used in conventional combustion engines and in existing infrastructure , making their adoption and penetration easier . At Exolum , we started the adaptation process of our transportation network and facilities for the storage and distribution of these sustainable fuels years ago .
“ We took many steps to increase the number of tanks at our plants to offer greater storage capacity and expand our range of services to support a variety of components and raw materials ,” he adds . The second pillar , which is tied to the first , is the fact that

Enabling industries and society to grow sustainably

Many of the industries that provide the basic building blocks of life – energy , power , water , chemicals – are resource and cost intensive . Today , these industries are working to increase the share of renewable energy that they use , and ABB ’ s automation , electrification and digital solutions are essential to support them on their sustainability journey .
