Enagás and the Spanish Confederation of Service Station Owners (CEEES) have signed an agreement to work together to promote and boost the use of natural gas and hydrogen as alternative fuels for transportation.
The collaboration includes, among other elements, the performance of a technical viability analysis for the construction of refuelling points for natural gas vehicles (NGV) and hydrogen at some of the 5,000 service stations that make up the CEEES network in Spain. The agreement has an initial duration of one year and can be extended automatically for one-year periods.

In addition, Enagás and the CEEES are working together on other courses of action to promote these energy sources as alternative fuels for transportation, in line with their commitment to contributing to the well-being of society and improving air quality.
Enagás will participate in this project through Scale Gas Solutions, a start-up that emerged from within its Open Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship Programme, Enagás Emprende.
