Exolum, Europe’s leading logistics company for liquid products, is set to invest 12 million euros in the construction of a new aviation fuel storage terminal and a loading area for refuelling units at the Lanzarote airport. This significant investment aims to enhance service quality for various operators at the airport and improve overall efficiency.
The new facility will boast a storage capacity of at least 6,000 cubic metres, distributed among three above-ground tanks, with provisions for a future fourth tank. Additionally, it will feature two positions for simultaneous discharge of road tankers and a loading position for emergency situations.
Complementing the storage terminal, the new loading area for refuelling units will offer four positions for Jet A1 loading and will be seamlessly connected to the storage facility through underground pipes. Furthermore, an airside loading and unloading facility, along with a 3,000-litre AVGAS 100LL storage tank, will be incorporated.
Enhancements in energy efficiency are a key focus of the project, with the installation of a photovoltaic power plant and electric vehicle charging points. State-of-the-art safety and environmental protection systems will also be integrated into the infrastructure.
Upon completion of the project, which is expected to take approximately three years, Exolum will operate the new facility for a period of 12 years. This initiative aligns with Exolum’s commitment to expanding its presence in the aviation fuel storage and distribution infrastructure management sector, leveraging its extensive experience gained from operations across Europe and Latin America.
As a leading player in the industry, Exolum manages various fuel storage and distribution infrastructures, including hydrant networks, both on and off airport sites. The company, which operates in eleven countries across the globe, boasts a vast pipeline network spanning over 6,000 kilometres, 69 storage terminals, 48 airport facilities, and a total storage capacity exceeding 11 million cubic metres.
