Molgas, owned by French private equity firm InfraVia Capital Partners, is investing heavily in small-scale developments in Europe.

In June last year, Molgas joined forces with Austria-based Wolftank to set up LNG and hydrogen refueling stations in European markets.

In 2021, the firm completed a deal with LNG giant Shell to buy Norway’s LNG supplier Gasnor and in the year after it acquired a controlling stake in Greece’s small-scale LNG firm, Blue Grid.
