04 Dec Saggas and Valenciaport agree to collaborate on innovation projects to promote the use of renewable gases in the maritime sector

Saggas and Valenciaport (Port Authority of Valencia, PAV) have signed a memorandum to collaborate in identifying innovation and development projects related to renewable gases and CO₂. The agreement was signed by Rosa María Prieto, president of Saggas, and Mar Chao, president of the VPA.

Through this memorandum, Saggas and the PAV commit to working jointly to identify innovation projects that will accelerate the development of storage, generation, and logistics solutions associated with the use of various renewable gases (hydrogen, BioLNG, etc.) in their different states, as well as CO₂, in a way that allows them to benefit from synergies with the processes carried out at the Sagunto regasification plant.

This collaboration aims to address the decarbonization needs of the maritime-port sector, the logistics chain, and its hinterland, and to ensure compliance with the requirements set out in the European Green Deal and in specific regulations such as the Maritime Fuel initiative or the regulation on the infrastructure needed for alternative fuels (AFIR), among others.

The signing of this memorandum is part of Saggas’ interest in participating in projects within the renewable gases and CO₂ infrastructure sector, as well as in the energy transition plan promoted by the PAV.04
