Nor do they probably know what the <\/span><b>process is it has gone through or the path it has taken to become a safe and efficient energy source<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In this article we will tell you everything you need to know about the journey gas takes, from its origin to its final destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What is natural gas?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enagas.es\/en\/natural-gas\/\">Natural gas<\/a> is the result of the decomposition of organic material that has been trapped in gas fields for millions of years<\/b>. When they are uncovered<i>&#8211;<\/i> onshore if it is below solid ground and offshore if it is below the sea &#8211; companies proceed to extract them. It is at this point that gas begins its journey to meet the demand of industry and households.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How does natural gas reach Spain?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of Spain, which imports almost all the natural gas it consumes, this comes from various sources, some of them thousands of kilometres away. <\/span><b>The two main forms of supply are through pipeline connections such as the one linking Algeria to Almeria or through the arrival of LNG tankers unloading liquefied natural gas (LNG)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from countries such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/en\/innovative\/the-us-steps-on-the-accelerator-of-its-hydrogen-roadmap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The United States<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Nigeria or Qatar, to name just a few, in ports such as Sagunto (Valencia) and Huelva (Andalusia).<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The two main forms of gas supply are pipeline connections or LNG tanker<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to all this diversification, <\/span><b>the Spanish gas system not only covers domestic demand, but also exports gas to other countries<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, helping to guarantee energy supply. And to achieve this, infrastructure is one of the key aspects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pipelines <\/span><b>are made chiefly from steel and carbon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They possess characteristics such as elasticity, corrosion resistance and tolerance to high pressures during transit, whether underground or on the seabed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>LNG tankers are a widely used transport option to cover long distances between geographies that cannot be connected by pipelines<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With this alternative, in liquefaction terminals, the gas is subjected to low temperatures (-160\u00b0C) to convert it into a liquid so that it occupies less volume. In this way, a larger quantity can be transported than if it were in a gaseous state. That\u2019s why this type of gas is known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/en\/sustainable\/what-is-lng-and-why-is-it-the-only-real-alternative-for-maritime-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">liquefied natural gas (LNG)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Once the LNG carrier has arrived at its destination, it unloads the LNG at a regasification terminal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There, a vaporisation process is carried out using seawater, whereby the temperature is increased to restore the gaseous state. At this point there are three options: inject the gas into the pipeline network to transport it to its final destination, load it onto tanker trucks to send it to areas that are not connected to the pipelines, or leave it in storage at the regasification plant to supply it at a later stage according to existing demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6979 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"This is the journey natural gas takes in Spain\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnewenergy.enagas.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/infographic-travel-natural-gas.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Who manages natural gas in Spain?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the natural gas has arrived in Spanish territory, either through pipelines or methane tankers, <\/span><b>Enag\u00e1s is the company responsible for unloading, storing and transporting it to its final destination<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To this end, it has an extensive infrastructure network that includes more than 12,000 kilometres of high-pressure gas pipelines, three underground storage facilities (in Huesca, Guadalajara and the coast of Bizkaia), six LNG terminals and around 20 compressor stations, among other facilities that guarantee the continuity of supply, as well as the safety of the gas and the infrastructures themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The MCC manages the operation and supervision of the transmission facilities of the Spanish gas system, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly, <\/span><b>the ability to coordinate this whole structure is one of the aspects that requires the most care<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
