Veolia, Enagás, and Barcelona Launch Innovative Cold Recovery Network

Veolia, Enagás, and Barcelona City Council have launched the world's first urban cold recovery network at the Enagás LNG terminal. This project reutilizes residual cold from the regasification process as a sustainable energy source, aimed at both industrial and residential applications.

The network, located at the Port of Barcelona, produces 131 GWh of affordable, low-carbon energy annually, matching the consumption of a city like Reus. The initiative prevents 32,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly, a reduction equivalent to 110 round-trip flights between Barcelona and New York.

Agreements are in place to expand the implementation of this technology both in Spain and internationally. The introduction of this network marks a significant step toward enhancing energy efficiency and tackling climate change.
