The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, including formalization of documentation and final approvals. The transaction is to have an effective date of January 1, 2023.

Cepsa said the sale achieved key objectives set out in Cepsa’s 2030 “Positive Motion” strategy advancing the group’s transformation into "a leader in sustainable mobility, biofuels, and green hydrogen in Spain and Portugal and a key benchmark in the energy transition.

We truly value the close partnerships we have developed with the Government of Abu Dhabi and ADNOC over the years," said Maarten Wetselaar, Cepsa CEO
