The Spanish headquartered energy infrastructure operator Enagás has announced that it will launch a BioLNG supply service at the company’s regasification terminals in Barcelona and Huelva, which will allow this decarbonised fuel to be loaded onto tankers and ships.
According to Enagás, this service which will come into operation in March is one of the first in Europe to use interconnected infrastructure so that biomethane injected into the gas network is recognised as BioLNG – a liquid biofuel obtained by processing domestic and industrial organic waste – and is supplied from these regasification terminals.
This “milestone,” as the company characterises it, adds to more than 10 years of work by Enagás, during which it has coordinated projects for the decarbonisation of maritime transport, such as Core LNGas Hive and LNGas Hive 2.
Furthermore, the company has invested in small scale infrastructure in all its terminals to adapt them to the market, and it has actively participated in the development of specific procedures and regulations for ship refuelling systems (bunkering).
“The Huelva and Barcelona terminals have carried out practically the entire LNG bunkering supply in Spain in 2024 and have already surpassed since the start of this type of operations 300 refuellings to small scale vessels in these two terminals,” said Enagás in its statement.
