Molgas Energy Group has been admitted as a Non-Clearing Member (NCM) of European Energy Exchange AG (EEX).

The Spanish energy firm said the move forms part of its broader expansion across European energy markets and supports its activities as a shipper, particularly in markets where traded gas volumes are developing.

As a non-clearing member, Molgas is able to trade products on EEX while using a designated clearing member to handle settlement, rather than clearing trades directly through the exchange’s clearing house.

"We look forward to building a strong partnership with EEX and continuing our journey toward delivering reliable, cleaner, and sustainable energy solutions for our customers," the company stated in the announcement.

Molgas thanked Carlos Miguel Urro, Aníbal Juárez, and the EEX team for their support during the onboarding process.

EEX operates energy and commodity markets across Europe, including trading in power, natural gas and emissions-related products.

Headquartered in Madrid, Molgas is backed by infrastructure investor InfraVia Capital Partners and provides a range of services across Europe, including ship-to-ship, truck-to-ship and terminal-to-ship operations. In 2025, the company acquired marine fuel supplier Titan Energy Holding, strengthening its LNG bunkering network. The firm also completed its first LNG bunker delivery at Leixões, Portugal, and performed its maiden bio-LNG bunkering operation at Le Havre, France.
