Gas infrastructure companies Energinet. dk , Fluxys Belgium, Gasunie, Gaznat , GRTgaz and Swedegas welcomed ONTRAS Gastransport as member of their Green Gas Initiative to achieve a carbon neutral gas supply in 2050.
Ralph Bahke, CEO of ONTRAS Gastransport stated: “By joining the cooperation we feel confirmed and strengthened in our ambition to develop our gas infrastructure towards a carbon neutral energy supply.”
Cost-effective solution for achieving EU carbon objectives
The Green Gas Initiative companies are convinced that gas and gas infrastructure are key to achieve EU carbon objectives at a reasonable cost for society and consumers. Combining biomethane and other regenerative energies with gas in the existing infrastructure is much more cost effective in carbon abatement than many high tech solutions. Gas infrastructure also enables the transport and storage of energy on a scale unmatched by other energy systems. Moreover, gas is a low emission alternative for oil products in transport, GGI members said in a joint statement.
Concrete pathways to 2050
The Green Gas Initiative companies channel their joint efforts and expertise into working groups to arrive at concrete pathways to 2050 for a selection of topics:
