The University of Oviedo and Enagás signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly promote a new chair to research the production, transmission and storage of sustainable energy carriers, such as renewable hydrogen and bio-LNG.

The signing ceremony, held at the El Musel Regasification Terminal (Gijón), was attended by Begońa Cueto, Vice-Rector for Transfer and Business Relations at the University of Oviedo; Jorge García, Head of Transfer and Business Chairs at the University of Oviedo; Claudio Rodríguez, Enagás Gas Assets General Manager; and Javier Perera, Enagás People and Transformation General Manager.

This agreement is the first of a long-term collaboration in which the two entities will promote R&D projects and activities aimed at the social promotion of research and technological development.

Progress on the commissioning of the El Musel Terminal
The El Musel LNG Terminal today also hosted the welcoming ceremony and the start of the Training Plan that will train new professionals for the commissioning of the infrastructure. 78% are from Asturias and will form part of a team of around 50 people. Of these, 53% are women. Additionally, the terminal will also create about 100 indirect jobs.

El Musel, which will start operating as a logistics infrastructure in January, is key to Spain’s contribution to Europe’s security of supply and will provide up to 8 bcm of LNG capacity per year to Europe, unloading and loading up to 100 ships per year.
