Musel Energy Hub Launches Bio-LNG Supply Service for Ships and Tankers

Musel Energy Hub, the LNG terminal in Gijón jointly owned by Enagás (75%) and Reganosa (25%), has introduced a new service enabling the supply of bio-LNG for maritime and road transport.

Bio-LNG Supply via Existing Infrastructure

The service uses the terminal’s connected infrastructure to ensure that biomethane injected into Spain’s gas network can be certified and delivered as bio-LNG, a liquid biofuel produced from domestic and industrial organic waste. The initiative allows the plant to distribute bio-LNG directly to ships and tankers via the Gijón facility.

Operator and Port Authority Statements

Antonio Manzano, Managing Director of Musel Energy Hub, said:

“We’ve reached a new milestone in the development of the Gijón terminal as a multi-molecule plant, a clear step forward in our undertaking to contribute to the fulfilment of the decarbonisation goals while enhancing the competitiveness of this key infrastructure for the security of the energy supply in Spain and Europe.”

Nieves Roqueñí, President of the Port Authority of Gijón, added:

“Preparing the regasification plant to supply ships with bio-LNG will allow shipping companies operating with dual and adapted engines to refuel in Gijón, thus contributing to the strategic goal of reducing our carbon footprint. Having a multi-energy platform to supply European ports and maritime routes and an excellent location in the centre of northern Spain with direct access to the Atlantic provides us with an excellent opportunity to move towards climate neutrality.”

Compliance and Certification

The new service complies with the environmental, social and traceability requirements set out under ISCC EU and the European Commission sustainability framework.

Growth of LNG Bunkering in Spain

LNG bunkering activity in Spain has expanded rapidly, increasing more than tenfold since 2022. Between January and September 2025, 4.6 TWh of LNG were supplied at terminals operated by Enagás and Reganosa. Of this, 4.1 TWh were loaded onto small ships and 0.5 TWh were delivered via tanker trucks.

Outlook

Musel Energy Hub’s introduction of bio-LNG bunkering is expected to support the continued growth of LNG and bio-LNG supply in Spain while contributing to broader emissions-reduction and fuel diversification efforts across maritime transport.
