Molgas Energy Group has completed the full acquisition of Amsterdam-based Titan Energy Holding, parent company of Titan Clean Fuels, creating one of Europe’s largest integrated downstream LNG and bio-LNG players.
The Madrid-headquartered company, backed by infrastructure investor InfraVia, said the transaction marks a key step in its strategic expansion into clean marine fuels. Molgas previously held a 45% minority stake in Titan, acquired in late 2023.
Titan, a well-known supplier of LNG and liquefied biomethane to shipping and industrial customers, operates a fleet of small-scale bunkering vessels serving Northwest Europe and other global markets. Its LNG bunkering operations will now merge with Molgas’ existing activities in Norway, consolidating all ship and truck-to-ship fuel supply under one network.
With the addition of Titan, Molgas now runs seven LNG bunkering vessels and manages a European network of over 70 road-fuelling stations and more than 200 sales points including partner outlets. The enlarged group positions itself as a major supplier of LNG and bio-LNG for industrial, transport, and marine clients across Europe.
The deal comes as demand for lower-carbon fuels grows amid tightening EU decarbonisation regulations, including the Emissions Trading System and FuelEU Maritime. Both companies see LNG and bio-LNG as scalable alternatives capable of supporting shipping’s transition toward cleaner operations.
Following the transaction, Titan CEO Niels den Nijs will join Molgas as Executive Vice President, Marine, overseeing the combined marine fuels business. Molgas CEO Sofoklis Papanikolaou said the merger builds “a robust platform to deliver LNG and bio-LNG solutions across Europe and beyond,” while den Nijs called it a “natural next step” to scale up supply and strengthen customer support.
