The pipeline from Barcelona to Fos-sur-Mer named BarMar, is part of the H2Med trans-European pipeline project which also features a corresponding link between Portugal and Spain, the CelZa pipeline.

Led by transmission system operators (TSO) NaTran and Teréga of France, and Enagás of Spain, BarMar will also feature compression stations on either side of the subsea crossing.

The consortium is hosting two months of consultations beginning May 6, including 25 public discussions regarding wider effects of the pipeline’s construction.
