The company Naturgy , through its gas distributor Nedgia , and the European biomethane platform CycleØ, have announced the first virtual gas pipeline in Spain, with the aim of reaching remote and inaccessible places in the region.
The first virtual gas pipeline from Naturgy and CycleØ
This project will allow the injection of renewable gas, generated from agro-food waste, into the gas distribution network, thus increasing the potential and volume of biomethane production for the future in the country.
The virtual gas pipeline is an important gas distribution and transport solution, located in Lleida and will receive the capacity to inject up to 70 GWh of renewable gas per year, enough to supply more than 14,000 Spanish homes.
This system will allow biomethane, produced at multiple CycleØ plants , to be compressed and transported as Bio-CNG to injection points in the Nedgia network, without having to rely on proximity to traditional pipeline infrastructure.
Laurence Molke, CEO of CycleØ, highlighted the importance of this project to overcome the logistical barriers that limit the expansion of biomethane production in Spain , thus improving the viability of this clean gas as an alternative to conventional natural gas. This advance will support the country’s decarbonisation objectives, and contribute to a fairer and more balanced energy transition.
For his part, Raúl Suárez, CEO of Nedgia , stated that this initiative aims to strengthen Naturgy’s commitment to sustainability by offering an efficient and competitive solution to inject renewable gas into the Spanish grid.
Furthermore, the biomethane produced through this virtual gas pipeline will be used to boost the decarbonisation of sectors such as transport and industry, by replacing natural gas with a carbon-neutral alternative.
