Search every verified Arturo Gonzalo interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Arturo Gonzalo, chief executive officer of Enagás since 2022, has recently spoken about the role of energy infrastructure in European competitiveness and security. In a July 2026 interview, he described Enagás’s mission as contributing to security of supply and decarbonization in Spain and Europe, and advocated for a model in which public and private sectors coexist with a commitment to critical infrastructure, a hydrogen network, and greater European energy independence. He also reflected on long-term leadership, resilience, and innovation in a sector subject to geopolitical, technological, and regulatory changes. In a June 2026 address to the Sedigas annual meeting, Gonzalo characterized the Spanish gas system as a strategic asset for supply security, particularly in light of recent geopolitical crises such as the conflict in the Gulf of Persia and the Strait of Hormuz. He emphasized the need for resilience, noting that the system faces increasing extreme weather events and aging infrastructure—for example, the Barcelona regasification plant, which opened in 1969. He called for adequate planning, regulation, and financing, and highlighted ongoing work on hydrogen and CO2 infrastructure, including a binational public consultation between Spain and France for the BarMar project, expected to enter operation between 2030 and 2032.

“De aquí al final de la década tenemos que llevar el precio del hidrógeno verde por debajo de los 4 € por kilo. Y eso es una combinación de cuatro palancas de actuación. La primera es la regulación. Tenemos que optimizar la regulación de modo que permita a su vez optimizar el coste del hidrógeno, el LCOH.”

“La Comisión Europea estimó que el sobrecoste energético del conflicto de Irán asciende a 500 millones de euros diarios, habiéndose cumplido ya los 100 días de conflicto. Eso significa que tenemos que pagar una factura, que estamos pagando una factura ya de 50.000 millones de euros por el sobrecoste de un conflicto en una geografía muy lejana a Europa y en el que Europa no ha tenido absolutamente nada que ver.”

“Thank you so much. Uh we've heard the views of the HTMLs. We are the people that build the infrastructures. That means that we necessarily have a long-term view. We are used to that.

And I think that's a very good final message o”

“Thank you friends, colleagues for being with us here today. I think this is a very eloquent image of how European TSOs and AHTNOS's are cooperating for making a reality such an ambitious project as creating a European hydrogen backbone or network. I think 2025 has been a crucial year for showing the tangible progress that is taking place and in the development of European hydrogen networks as the result of initiative”

“el hidrógeno verde, Fernando, ya es realidad. Tiene que ser realidad porque todos sabemos que no todo es electrificable, que hay muchos usos que necesitan hidrógeno como materia prima o porque hace falta una gran densidad de energía o como forma de almacenamiento o para altas temperaturas en la industria. La Agencia Internacional de la Energía estima que para 2050, incluso en los horizontes más optimistas sobre la el”

“la respuesta del sistema gasista español ha sido impecable. hemos garantizado el suministro y además a unos precios más competitivos que los que tuvo que hacer frente el conjunto de Europa y eso le supuso a España un descuento en su factura de gas comparado con la factura de gas de lo que hubiera ocurrido en otras circunstancias que hemos estimado entre 2022 y 2024 en 10,000 millones de euros.”
