• The CEO of Enagás emphasised that Spain is a leader in maritime decarbonisation using LNG and bio-LNG: in terms of bunkering, it overtook the port of Rotterdam in 2025 and is already closing in on major global hubs such as Singapore

During his participation in the Gasnam-Neutral Transport Green Gas Mobility Summit (GGMS26), which took place on 17 and 18 June, the CEO of Enagás, Arturo Gonzalo, emphasised Spain’s enormous potential to become a leader in the field of mobility. In a conversation with Eugenia Sillero, Gasnam’s General Secretary, he stated that “Spain is a top-tier player in global transport and has everything it takes to become a major hub for sustainable mobility”.

During a session entitled Europe and the challenge of sustainable transport: infrastructure to accelerate the transformation of mobility, the CEO of Enagás stated that “we have taken a giant step forward. In 2025, 8.1 TWh of LNG was loaded in Spain for maritime bunkering”, placing Spain ahead of the port of Rotterdam and “hot on the heels of Singapore”.

The Enagás Chief Executive argued that future transport will necessarily be multi-technological and multimodal, and emphasised that the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that by 2050, hydrogen and its derivatives will account for a quarter of transport demand, with a greater share in the maritime and aviation sectors. This information comes from the IEA’s latest World Energy Outlook 2025.

With regard to land transport, Arturo Gonzalo highlighted the measures announced by Joan Groizard, the Secretary of State for Energy, who, at the opening ceremony, announced the forthcoming approval of the Royal Decree transposing the RED III Directive in the transport sector, as well as the public consultation on the National Action Framework, which is key to implementing the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). “By 2030, we must have at least 79 hydrogen refuelling stations,” said the Chief Executive Officer.

The event was also attended by María Junco, the General Manager of Enagás GTS, who acted as moderator for the panel discussion Energy markets in transition: LNG, bio-LNG and e-fuels, with Antonio Canseco, Axpo Group’s Head of LNG and Gas Iberia ; María Fernández, BP’s Senior Manager, Gas & Power Southern Europe ; Raúl Santamaría, the General Manager of Mibgas; Eric Pelsise, Head of Gas, LNG and Biomethane Trading at Moeve; Carlos Martín, LNG Bunker at Repsol; and Nacho de Miguel, Head of Alternative Fuels & Sustainability at Peninsula.

Alongside her, Nerea Chacartegui, Enagás’ Commercial Logistics Director, spoke at the session entitled Enagás’ role in the roll-out of bioLNG for maritime transport. Furthermore, Claudio Rodríguez, Enagás’ Director of Technical Services and Technology, moderated the presentation The reality of hydrogen in global mobility: Real-world experiences in Europe , alongside Erwan Bruneau, Solutions & Commercialisation Manager for Europe Hydrogen for Mobility at Air Products.

This was followed by the round-table discussion Port infrastructure for a multi-fuel transition, in which María Jesús Martín, the M&A Business Development Manager, alongside Juan Pablo Pérez, the Head of the Port Planning Department at the Algeciras Port Authority; Fernando Monasterio, Exolum’s Senior Business Development Manager – H2 & Derivatives; and moderated by Pedro García, Operations Director at Puertos del Estado.

Also taking part was Miguel Ángel Castro, Scale Green Energy’s Mobility Manager, who moderated a discussion alongside Jason Dennis, Toyota Tsusho Europe’s Hydrogen Business Development Manager, entitled Market Development for Bunkering and LNG/BioLNG Supply Vessels , and on 18 June, Álvaro Delicado, Scale Green Energy’s Maritime Development Manager, took part in a session alongside Ludovico Pallotti, Fearnleys’ LNG Shipbroker, entitled Hydrogen infrastructure for mobility: the case of the Port of Barcelona.
