Molgas Energy Group has finalized the full acquisition of Titan Energy Holding, parent company of Titan Clean Fuels, following the company's initial 45% minority stake. The transaction was announced on October 7, 2025, from Madrid, Spain, and Amsterdam, the Netherlands, marking a significant expansion in the clean marine fuels sector for the InfraVia-backed energy group.

Strategic Integration Creates Pan-European LNG Leader

The acquisition integrates Titan, a leading independent supplier of liquefied biomethane (LBM/bio-LNG) and LNG serving both maritime and industrial customers. Titan operates a fleet of small-scale bunkering vessels across key global markets, with a strong base in the Northwest European region. The company's LNG bunkering operations will merge with Molgas' existing operations in Norway, and all truck-to-ship supply across Norway and continental Europe will now be combined under the unified structure.

With the integration of Titan, the Molgas Energy Group now operates a fleet of seven LNG bunkering vessels and manages a proprietary network of over 70 road-fuelling stations, with more than 200 points of sale, including associated partner stations. This expanded footprint positions Molgas as a pan-European leader in downstream LNG and bio-LNG solutions for industrial, road transport, and marine customers.

Leadership Structure and Marine Operations

Following the transaction, Niels den Nijs will lead Molgas' Marine Business as Executive Vice President, Marine. He will oversee all marine activities, delivering integrated end-to-end ship-to-ship and truck-to-ship bunkering services across Europe. Den Nijs previously served as CEO of Titan Clean Fuels. The acquisition comes at a time of accelerating momentum for clean fuels, with LNG and bio-LNG increasingly recognized as scalable, low-emission alternatives that can play a vital role in decarbonizing both shipping and heavy-duty road transport.

The companies cite tightening regulations, including EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, as drivers of growing demand for sustainable energy solutions.

Executive Commentary on Strategic Vision

Sofoklis Papanikolaou, CEO of Molgas, commented on the acquisition: “Niels and the Titan team started as true pioneers, showing remarkable innovation and have grown Titan into one of the sector's most reliable LNG bunkering operators. The success of our initial collaboration laid the groundwork for this acquisition, which significantly extends our reach and capabilities. We are welcoming to the group a very experienced team, with leading specific expertise in marine fuels and decarbonization.

Together, we will build a robust platform to deliver LNG and bio-LNG solutions across Europe and beyond.” Niels den Nijs, CEO of Titan, added: “From the start, our partnership with Molgas was a strong strategic fit, and I'm very happy to join their board. By joining forces fully, we substantially strengthen our balance sheet and joint commercial reach. Together, we will scale our clean fuel solutions for the maritime sector at a time of accelerating demand and regulatory tail winds.

This integration allows us to better serve our long-term customers with an unrelenting focus on our mission: to deliver economical fuel at scale to help decarbonize shipping.”

Investor Perspective on Maritime Transformation

Athanasios Zoulovits, Partner at InfraVia Capital Partners, provided commentary on the transaction, though the complete statement was cut off in the source material. InfraVia serves as the infrastructure investor backing Molgas Energy Group in this strategic expansion. The transaction represents a major step forward in the Group's strategic growth in the clean marine fuels sector, building on the foundation established through Molgas' initial minority investment in Titan.

The combined entity is positioned to serve the growing demand for clean fuel solutions across multiple sectors, including maritime, industrial, and road transport applications throughout Europe.
