Enagás is launching a BioLNG bunkering service in Spain, at its regasification terminals in Barcelona and Huelva in March.
This service will allow BioLNG, a fuel made from organic waste, to be loaded onto tankers and ships. The infrastructure will use biomethane injected into the gas network. As informed, LNG bunkering has seen exponential growth in recent years in Spain, increasing its activity ninefold from 2022 to 3.8 TWh supplied in 2024.
Out of this total, 3.1 TWh were loaded onto small vessels (Ship to Ship, STS) and the remaining 0.7 TWh by tankers (Truck to Ship, TTS), which represents a 2.4-fold increase compared to the amounts charged in 2023.
According to Enagás, the Barcelona and Huelva terminals have accounted for nearly all LNG bunkering in Spain and have surpassed 300 refuellings of small-scale vessels.
The service meets environmental and traceability standards set by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC EU) and the European Commission, the company noted in a statement.
