Project Overview
Exolum is planning a new energy transition terminal at the Outer Port of A Coruña, with an investment exceeding €100 million. The terminal aims to enhance regional logistics, improve efficiency, and ensure a sustainable energy supply for Galicia and the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
Infrastructure Details
The terminal will have a capacity of over 160,000 m³, distributed across petroleum products, biofuels, cryogenic CO₂, and ammonia. It will feature 22 tanks, including atmospheric, cryogenic, and pressurized types, and will be equipped to handle both conventional and sustainable fuels.
Logistics and Connectivity
The facility will include an Iberian gauge railway loading bay connected to the national network, two berths for ships, and loading islands for tanker trucks. It will support the storage, blending, and dispatch of products like biodiesel, bioethanol, methanol, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).
Timeline and Implementation
The project is in its early planning stages and will be developed in phases, with operations expected to begin in 2029. The terminal's strategic location will position the Port of A Coruña as a key logistics hub for routes to Northern Europe, America, and the Middle East.
