Molgas launches Greece's first LNG station in Thessaloniki

Spanish gas company Molgas has inaugurated Greece's first LCNG station, offering LNG and compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles in Thessaloniki, the company announced on July 29 via a LinkedIn post.

This project was developed by Blue Grid, a company founded in Athens that became part of the Molgas group in 2022. Blue Grid currently focuses on supplying LNG as a fuel to various industries, road transport and marine transport sectors.

“This launch not only represents the opening of our LNG/bioLNG station network in Greece but also an advance towards modernising the country's heavy vehicle fleet. LNG and biomethane offer more economical and eco-friendly alternatives for transport operators,” Molgas stated.

The company plans to soon launch LNG/bioLNG stations in Athens, Patras, and Ioannina.

Molgas is involved in small-scale downstream LNG and renewable gas supply and distribution in Western Europe. It is owned by funds managed by InfraVia Capital Partners, a Paris-based private equity fund specialising in infrastructure investments. Last year, Molgas acquired a 45% stake in Dutch LNG bunkering firm Titan Clean Fuels.
