Veolia’s Post

Veolia inaugurated the first world urban network to use residual cold from a regasification process as a sustainable #energy source for industrial and residential purposes, located at the Enagás liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Port of #Barcelona. ❄️⚡ This new recovery facility harnesses residual cold energy from the LNG terminal, and turns it into decarbonized energy injected directly into the grid. 🚢 It will then serve industries, more than 11,000 homes, and Mercabarna, Barcelona’s main wholesale food market. ➡️ This pioneering #innovation will avoid 32,000 tons of carbon emissions per year, equivalent to 110 round-trip long-haul flights between Barcelona and New York, in line with our vision of #EcologicalTransformation. ➡️ With over 150 regasification terminals worldwide, this unique solution opens up considerable prospects for the production of low carbon local energy from hither to untapped fields. This project demonstrates the feasibility and relevance of local supply solutions to meet the global challenges of energy sovereignty and decarbonization. Thank you to our partners at Enagás, the Barcelona City Council, the Port de Barcelona, Consorci de la Zona Franca de Barcelona, Generalitat de Catalunya for helping such an ambitious project come to life. Thank you to our customers, Mercabarna and the presidents of Asociación de Empresas Mayoristas de Mercabarna and the Guilds. And thank you to the whole Veolia team (Veolia España) involved in the work for its passion and ingenuity. 🔗 Learn more about this project: https://lnkd.in/eHJ_Ku3J
