Il nuovo impianto di produzione idrogeno, steam reforming, ha rappresentato la svolta per l’avvio della produzione nell’estate 2019. Grazie alla realizzazione di un nuovo impianto di pretrattamento delle biomasse, la bio-raffineria sarà in grado di utilizzare per il 100% della capacità di lavorazione materie prime di seconda generazione composte dagli scarti della produzione alimentare. Quella di Gela, infatti, sarà una delle poche raffinerie al mondo a elevata flessibilità operativa, in grado di trattare anche il 100% di cariche advanced e unconventional. Le materie prime future deriveranno da scarti della produzione alimentare, quali oli usati (UCO - used cooking oil), grassi animali (tallow) e sottoprodotti legati alla lavorazione dell’olio di palma (PFAD - acidi grassi). Questa caratteristica farà della bio-raffineria di Gela un impianto a elevata sostenibilità ambientale proprio per l’utilizzo di cariche che diversamente andrebbero smaltite come rifiuti, con aggravio dei costi per la comunità e impatto sull’ambiente. Inoltre, la bio-raffineria, che avrà una capacità di lavorazione fino a 750 mila tonnellate all’anno, rispetterà in pieno le più recenti normative UE e ridurrà di oltre il 60% le emissioni CO2 rispetto al ciclo fossile. La raffineria di Gela verrà alimentata in parte dall'energia prodotta dagli impianti fotovoltaici del Progetto Italia, contribuendo così ulteriormente alla riduzione delle emissioni.
