Energy major Shell has opened its new LNG import terminal in Gibraltar

The new facility, which was completed by Shell and its subsidiary Gasnor, is being used to supply gas to a newly commissioned 80-megawatt gas-fired power plant as the British Overseas Territory on Spain's south coast moves away from using diesel.

Shell said the moves was in line with Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar’s (HMGOG) aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and improving air quality around the Rock of Gibraltar.
