Saggas

What Saggas does

Saggas (Planta de Regasificación de Sagunto S.A.) is a Spanish LNG regasification terminal operator headquartered at the port of Sagunto on the Mediterranean coast, in commercial operation since 2006 and owned by Enagás Transporte, Osaka Gas, and Oman Oil Holdings Spain. The company receives LNG from methane tanker vessels at its port-side facility, stores it in four large cryogenic tanks with 600,000 m³ of total gas capacity, and regasifies it at a peak throughput of 1,000,000 Nm³/h for injection into Spain's basic gas pipeline network (Red Básica de Gasoductos). Beyond the core regasification service, Saggas operates small-scale LNG truck and ship loading (since 2020), LNG ship bunkering (adapted 2023), and a bioLNG loading service certified under ISCC EU (launched 2025), with 23 hectares of platform supporting these multi-modal operations.

The business is structured around regulated infrastructure economics. Saggas charges CNMC-set tariffs for LNG reception, storage, regasification, and pipeline dispatch — the dominant revenue stream — and earns incremental revenue from contracted small-scale loading, bunkering, and bioLNG services. The terminal has handled LNG from 14 different countries, unloaded more than 1,000 vessels cumulatively (milestone reached March 2025 with the Hellas Athina), and produced approximately 766,000 GWh of energy over its 20-year operating history. Market share within the Spanish LNG system has historically ranged from 10% to 16.6% (14.1% in 2024, 2.3 million tonnes handled in 2025).

Strategic activity is increasingly oriented toward energy transition adjacencies. The CO2necta project (announced January 2025 with Enagás and Holcim, submitted to the European Commission's Innovation Funds) targets capture and utilization of 560,000+ tonnes of CO2 per year from Holcim's industrial processes. The company holds four consecutive years of UNEP OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard recognition (2021–2024) and the EcoVadis Platinum Medal (2026, score 86/100), and operates under ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 50001 and EMAS certifications. The combined footprint is that of a regulated industrial infrastructure asset in the early stages of monetization beyond its core tariff envelope.

Revenue model

1. Regasification Services: Saggas charges regulated tariffs for the reception, storage, and regasification of LNG, and dispatch of natural gas into the pipeline network. This is the primary revenue stream and operates under a regulated framework overseen by the Spanish energy authority (CNMC). The company also generates revenue from loading LNG onto tanker trucks and small vessels for small-scale distribution.

Core offering

Saggas operates the Sagunto LNG regasification plant, receiving seaborne liquefied natural gas, storing it in cryogenic tanks, converting it to gaseous form through vaporization, and injecting the natural gas into Spain's basic gas pipeline network. Beyond core regasification, the plant offers small-scale LNG loading onto tanker trucks and small vessels, LNG bunkering for ships, and ISCC EU-certified bioLNG loading to support decarbonization of the transport sector.

Product overview

Saggas (Planta de Regasificación de Sagunto S.A.) is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facility located in Sagunto, Spain. The company operates as a single-site industrial infrastructure offering a portfolio of interconnected LNG handling services: the core service is LNG regasification (receiving LNG via methane tankers, converting liquid to gas, and injecting into the national gas pipeline network). Supporting this core are add-on services including small-scale LNG loading for distribution to smaller markets, bioLNG loading for sustainable fuel supply, ship-to-truck loading for road distribution, and ship loading via hose system for maritime bunkering. The plant has operated since 2006 with 4 storage tanks, 600,000 m3 total gas capacity, and 1,000,000 Nm3/h regasification capacity.
