(IN BRIEF) Molgas Energy Group has completed its full acquisition of Titan Energy Holding, parent of Titan Clean Fuels, creating a unified European leader in downstream LNG and bio-LNG distribution. The merger integrates Titan’s maritime LNG operations with Molgas’ existing Norwegian and continental European infrastructure, expanding the Group’s reach to seven LNG bunkering vessels and more than 200 fuelling points. Backed by InfraVia Capital Partners, the combined entity is positioned to meet Europe’s surging demand for low-carbon marine and transport fuels amid tightening decarbonization regulations. Niels den Nijs will head Molgas’ Marine Business, focusing on end-to-end bunkering solutions across Europe. Together, Molgas and Titan aim to accelerate the transition to cleaner energy in the maritime and heavy transport sectors.

(PRESS RELEASE) MADRID/ AMSTERDAM, 8-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Molgas Energy Group (Molgas) has officially finalized the full acquisition of Titan Energy Holding, parent company of Titan Clean Fuels (Titan), marking a major milestone in its strategic expansion across the clean marine fuels sector. The acquisition, which follows Molgas’ initial 45% minority stake, establishes a fully integrated company positioned to lead the downstream liquefied natural gas (LNG) and bio-LNG markets in Europe. The transaction is backed by infrastructure investor InfraVia Capital Partners, reinforcing Molgas’ growing influence in the transition toward cleaner energy solutions.

Titan, known for its pioneering role in supplying liquefied biomethane (LBM/bio-LNG) and LNG to maritime and industrial clients, operates a fleet of small-scale bunkering vessels serving global markets with a strong operational base in Northwest Europe. Following the merger, Titan’s LNG bunkering activities will be fully integrated into Molgas’ operations in Norway, combining all truck-to-ship supply services across Norway and continental Europe under one unified structure.

This consolidation creates a powerhouse in sustainable fuel logistics. The Molgas Group now operates seven LNG bunkering vessels and manages a proprietary network of over 70 road-fuelling stations and 200 points of sale, including partner locations. This expansive infrastructure solidifies Molgas’ leadership in providing integrated LNG and bio-LNG solutions for marine, industrial, and heavy transport customers across Europe.

The acquisition arrives at a crucial time as Europe intensifies efforts to decarbonize shipping and road transport sectors. LNG and bio-LNG are increasingly viewed as scalable, low-emission energy alternatives capable of accelerating the clean transition amid tightening environmental regulations such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime. Together, Molgas and Titan are strategically positioned to meet growing demand for sustainable fuel solutions that support the EU’s climate goals.

As part of the new structure, Niels den Nijs, former CEO of Titan, will lead Molgas’ Marine Business as Executive Vice President, Marine. He will oversee all marine operations, ensuring seamless delivery of ship-to-ship and truck-to-ship bunkering services across Europe.

Sofoklis Papanikolaou, CEO of Molgas, praised the integration: “Niels and his team at Titan have been true pioneers, transforming the LNG bunkering landscape. This acquisition strengthens our capabilities and brings invaluable marine fuels expertise to the group. Together, we will build a strong, scalable platform to deliver LNG and bio-LNG solutions throughout Europe and beyond.”

Niels den Nijs added: “Molgas has been a natural strategic partner for us from the beginning. By fully joining forces, we strengthen our financial position, broaden our market reach, and accelerate our ability to scale clean fuel solutions for the maritime sector. This integration enhances our capacity to deliver economical and reliable fuels at scale, supporting the decarbonization of global shipping.”

Athanasios Zoulovits, Partner at InfraVia Capital Partners, emphasized the strategic significance: “The maritime sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Titan’s integration into Molgas positions the Group at the forefront of delivering scalable clean marine fuel solutions across Europe. We’re proud to support Molgas in its mission to drive the energy transition in mobility, industry, and shipping.”

Jogchum Brinksma, Chairman of Titan, concluded: “Titan’s growth trajectory has been remarkable, and this partnership gives the company the scale and global positioning it needs to lead in alternative fuels. This move will elevate both Molgas and Titan to new heights in the clean energy transition.”

Titan remains committed to supplying a broad range of alternative marine fuels and continues to emphasize the immediate potential of LNG, LBM, and e-methane as practical pathways toward achieving net-zero emissions in shipping. Through ongoing collaboration with shipowners and operators, the newly integrated company aims to advance flexible, cost-effective clean fuel programs that meet today’s and tomorrow’s sustainability challenges.
