Exolum planning construction of new energy transition terminal

Exolum has embarked upon the process for authorisation for the construction of a new terminal for storage of bulk liquid at the Outer Port of A Coruña, on the Punta Langosteira dock.
The energy transition terminal will be equipped to operate with both conventional products and sustainable fuels, such as renewable ammonia, captured CO₂, green methanol, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other biofuels
This project, which would constitute an investment of over €100 million, is framed within the company’s strategy to lead the energy transition in Spain and Europe, by driving infrastructure adapted to new energy vectors.
The plans incorporate the development of a plant designed under strict criteria of safety, energy efficiency, automation and environmental sustainability. It will be distributed across two separate but connected sites, with a total capacity of approximately 165,000 m³ across 22 tanks (atmospheric, cryogenic, and pressurised) equipped to store hydrocarbons, chemical products, ammonia, and CO₂.
The planned activities include the storage, blending, and dispatch of a wide range of products, like biodiesel, HVO (hydro biodiesel), bioethanol, methanol, naphtha, SAF and raw materials for biofuels and traditional hydrocarbons.
Jorge Guillén, aviation and Spain network lead, said: “This initiative reflects Exolum’s firm commitment to the development of new logistics infrastructure in Spain, to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition.  The Outer Port of A Coruña offers exceptional operating conditions, with a privileged location, maritime access and a multimodal connection that makes it the ideal location of projects like this one.
“Exolum is confident this installation will contribute to the competitiveness of the industry and the Galician economy, fostering the creation of qualified jobs in the construction and operation phase and attracting industrial investment linked to the decarbonisation of the sector and green molecules.”
