Committed to the energy transition, SPSE, a player in the long-distance transport and storage of liquid hydrocarbons, and Elengy, the incumbent operator of LNG terminals in France, launched a call for tenders last June with a view to developing a network of CO2 transport infrastructures linking industrial sites in the Rhône valley to a liquefaction and export terminal at Fos-sur-Mer. This infrastructure network is designed for geological sequestration and CO2 recovery.
Nelly Nicoli, CEO at Elengy, an expert in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and pioneer operator of LNG terminals in France, presented the Medhyterra project, its objectives and challenges on Tuesday 24 September 2024 in Fos-sur-Mer.
As part of their commitment to the energy transition, GRTgaz, France's main gas transmission operator, and Elengy, the incumbent operator of LNG terminals in France, launched their call for expressions of interest in March with a view to developing, respectively, a CO2 transmission network covering several departments (Ille-et-Vilaine, Mayenne, Loire-Atlantique, Vendée, Deux-Sèvres) and a CO2 liquefaction and export terminal at the Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal.
Elengy, an expert in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a pioneering operator of LNG terminals in France, has voluntarily engaged with the National Commission for Public Debate (CNDP) to conduct preliminary consultations – as required by current regulations – regarding its low-carbon ammonia import terminal project at its Fos Tonkin site, which will be partially redeveloped to accommodate this new infrastructure.
Fabien Poure, CEO of SPSE, and Nelly Nicoli, CEO of Elengy, announce the joint launch of a Call for Expressions of Interest (AMI "Rhône CO2") to develop a network of CO2 transport infrastructures, linking industrial sites in the Rhône valley to a liquefaction and export terminal at Fos-sur-Mer.
From 11 March, Elengy will be providing industrial companies based in France’s Greater West area with the information they need to respond to its call for interest (CFI) to promote the emergence of the GOCO2 project, a project to capture and transport CO2 from industrial sources with a view to its permanent geological storage (CCS).
Nelly Nicoli, CEO of Elengy, inaugurates two new tanker loading bays at the Fos Cavaou LNG terminal in the presence of René Raimondi, Mayor of Fos, Hervé Martel, Chairman of the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille and Régis Passerieux, Sub-Prefect of the borough of Istres.
On 28th September 2023, thanks to fitting-out works carried out to accommodate smaller vessels, the Fos Tonkin LNG terminal has successfully launched a new small-scale LNG carrier loading service.
