June 18, 2026. The Green Gas Mobility Summit 2026 (#GGMS26), organized by Gasnam and held in Madrid, has once again placed the Iberian Peninsula at the center of the debate on the decarbonization of maritime and land transport.
Over the two days, shipping companies, ports, regulators, and suppliers agreed on a common diagnosis: the Iberian Peninsula has the location, infrastructure, and production capacity to lead maritime decarbonization in Europe. The challenge now lies in consolidating a stable regulatory framework and, above all, ensuring that emissions trading revenues are reinvested in the sector to provide certainty for investments and accelerate the deployment of green fuels. This demand resonates with the measures put forward by the European Commission itself, whose future reward mechanism aims precisely to close the price gap with fossil fuels.
Regarding the role of biomethane in the decarbonization of land transport, the sector left a clear message: the biomethane use chain —refueling stations, vehicles and operators— is already ready and working, and the only link that is not advancing at the necessary pace is production in Spain, hampered by excessively slow administrative procedures.
