The two companies have signed a collaboration agreement to promote carbon footprint reduction projects through the development of a CO2 capture, transmission and storage logistics chain.
The CEO of Enagás, Arturo Gonzalo, and the CEO of Heidelberg Materials Hispania, Jesús Ortiz, have signed an agreement to jointly develop a decarbonisation project related to the capture, transmission, liquefaction, and subsequent permanent storage or use of CO2.

Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, Heidelberg Materials will develop CO2 capture technologies at its facilities in northern Spain. Enagás, for its part, will study transmission, liquefaction, storage, and ship loading solutions at its regasification terminals.
Arturo Gonzalo, CEO of Enagás, emphasised, “This agreement will allow Enagás, together with an industrial benchmark such as Heidelberg Materials, to make progress in our joint commitment to reduce our carbon footprint and to play a relevant role in achieving the decarbonisation objectives of Spain and Europe.” He added, “The development of more effective technologies for sustainable CO2 management is key to successfully tackling the decarbonisation of non-emitting sectors.”
Jesús Ortiz, CEO of Heidelberg Materials Hispania, stated, “At Heidelberg Materials Hispania, we want to contribute to the transformation of the building materials sector in Spain, based on the know-how and global leadership of our group.”
He further highlighted, “We offer our customers sustainable products and solutions tailored to their needs and their own sustainability targets, including 100% carbon-free products, thanks to CO2 capture. I am confident that the path we are taking will be a reference and an incentive to move towards a sustainable construction model committed to carbon neutrality and the circular economy in Spain.”
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will develop a feasibility study, the technical design of the CO2 capture and transport infrastructure, quality specifications, and an economic study.
The reduction of CO2 emissions and their transmission is of growing interest. Enagás’ non-binding Call for Interest process, presented at the Second Hydrogen Day in January 2024, identified 37 companies interested in CO2 capture—representing 10.4 million tonnes per year (Mt/year)—and 53 companies interested in having infrastructure for its transmission and storage.
