Valenciaport partners with Saggas for hydrogen, bio-LNG and CO2

They will work together to identify innovation projects focused on storage, generation, and logistics for renewable gases (hydrogen, bio-LNG, etc.) and CO2 and aiming at leverage synergies with operations at the Sagunto regasification plant.

The partners aim to meet the decarbonisation needs of the maritime – port sector, the logistics chain and its hinterland and support compliance with the European Green Pact’s requirements and specific regulations such as the Fuel Maritime initiative and the regulation on the infrastructures needed for alternative fuels (AFIR), among others.

The Port of Valencia is committed to the 2030 Agenda, with projects including the H2PORTS initiative to establish the use of green hydrogen in its operations, the installation of an electrical substation to connect the ships’ engines to shore power while they are docked at the Port of Valencia or the installation of wind turbines to generate wind energy.

Last year, 42 private companies have voluntarily aligned themselves with the environmental strategy “Valenciaport 2030 Zero Emissions”. The port also tested an electrically powered airship with sensors and instruments to analyse environmental, security and maritime traffic control parametres.
