Mission & Goals
With 50 years of experience, Enagás is an international leader in the development, operation and maintenance of energy infrastructures. It carries out its activities in seven countries. Enagás is certified as an independent TSO, and it is the technical manager of the system in Spain. Enagás has around +12,000 Km of high-pressure gas pipelines, three underground storage facilities and majority stakes in six LNG regasification plants in Spain. Enagás is deeply committed to the energy transition. It boosts and develops national and international projects to contribute to the decarbonisation process, such as renewable gases (hydrogen and biomethane), energy efficiency and gas in maritime transport. In December 2023 the Spanish Government appointed Enagás as provisional Hydrogen Transmission Network Operator in Spain, allowing it to develop the five hydrogen Projects of Common Interest selected in the 2024 list.
EU Legislative Interests
In general, Enagás targets any EU regulatory and policy development that directly or indirectly impacts the gas transmission, storage, and LNG business as well as the Spanish and EU gas industries. Enagás also targets EU proposals related to developing renewable and low-carbon gases (hydrogen and biomethane), their associated infrastructure, CO2 transport and storage, and the use of gas(es) in the transport sector. Among others, the main EU developments of interest for Enagás are those covered by the following topics: - EU Clean Industrial Deal - Fit for 55 Package implementation - Security of Gas Supply - Smart Energy System Integration and its implementation - EU Hydrogen Strategy implementation and potential update - Secondary legislation derived from the Hydrogen & Decarbonised Gas Package, including Network Codes developments - Regulatory Framework for Hydrogen Market and Hydrogen Infrastructure - Transportation and Storage of Hydrogen. Retrofitting (hydrogen blending) and repurposing of existing gas infrastructure into dedicated hydrogen infrastructure - EU Grids Package including TEN-E regulation and Energy Highways - Projects of Common Interest (PCIs) - ACER developments - REMIT - External dimension of the EU Energy Policy - EU Climate Policies, including the ETS Reform - EU LNG regulatory framework - EU gas storage regulatory framework - Gas(es) infrastructure for mobility - road and maritime transport - CO2 standards for light and heavy vehicles - Decarbonisation of the Maritime Transport (e.g FuelEU Maritime) - Renewable gases, including biomethane and hydrogen - Gas Quality - CEF Funds / CINEA developments - Research and Innovation Funding (including CH JU, ETS Innovation Fund, etc.) - Environmental emissions regulations - Methane Emissions - Hydrogen IPCEIs - Energy Taxation Directive - Renewable Energy Directive (RED III) implementation and secondary legislation - Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism - External Energy Policy - EU Sanctions affecting the energy sector - CCUS Strategy / CO2 transport - State Aid related to energy projects (including energy infrastructure projects) - etc. FORA and ALLIANCES: - Madrid Regulatory Forum for Gas - Copenhagen Energy Infrastructure Forum - European Hydrogen Forum - European Clean Hydrogen Alliance
