Episode 52 of The Manufacturing Podcast visits Jaén, Spain, where olive oil producer Grupo Gallo partners with biomass plant operator Abengoa to turn 12,000 tons of olive pit waste into heat and electricity. Lucas explains how the factory replaced 85% of its natural gas use with a locally sourced fuel that costs 40% less and would otherwise be discarded. Luna questions the scalability for smaller producers and the seasonal supply challenge. A concrete example of industrial circular economy with real numbers — not greenwashing. #OlivePitBiomass #GrupoGallo #Abengoa #JaenSpain #CircularEconomy #IndustrialBiomass #RenewableHeat #BiomassPower #OliveOilWaste #EnergyTransition #SpanishManufacturing #WasteToEnergy #FactoryDecarbonization #BiomassBoiler #SupplyChainInnovation #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
