UNDERSTANDING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
Following the war in Ukraine ENGIE had
to renew 20 of its supply contracts
in 2023 The strategy of renewing the
Groups natural gas supply portfolio is
compatible with a decreasing demand
for natural gas in Europe between
now and 2045 This strategy includes
the mobilization of additional volumes
from the North Sea as well as new
LNG contracts put in place with companies
particularly American ones
Based on internal data available to
date for the entire life cycle from
extraction to combustion the difference
in emissions between LNG from the
USA and natural gas from Russia is
estimated at approximately 10
These contracts do not call into question
the Groups ability to achieve its
Net Zero objective by 2045 nor its
greenhouse gas emissions objectives
for 2030 and end before 2045 In the
meantime they offer to the Group the
flexibility to be able to reroute these
volumes
Thus, in parallel with the
development of renewable
electricity, the Group’s energy
mix is decarbonizing over the
period 2017-2030, thanks to
the end of coal consumption and
a 30% reduction of natural gas
consumption for both energy
generation and fuel sales.
Furthermore, the rate of greening
of the gas transported and
distributed by the Group will
largely depend on public policies
and the regulatory framework in
place. The current gas flows from
the gas distribution and transport
networks in France already
include a share of biomethane;
proportion that will grow in the
coming years, to reach 100%
renewable gas by 2050. ENGIE
has also committed to reducing
methane emissions from its
controlled gas infrastructures
around the world by 30%
between 2017 and 2030.
FUEL SALES WILL ALSO BE STRONGLY
DECARBONIZED.
Three main factors contribute to the
decarbonization of fuel sales: cessation
of coal sales since 2017, reduction
in fossil gas sales (linked to energy
sobriety and efficiency as well as
the transfer to other energy vectors),
greening of sales (biomethane and
renewable hydrogen).
This last lever will build up between
2022 and 2030, before becoming the
first decarbonization lever between
2030 and 2045. The share of renewable
gases should represent at least 10% of
the Group’s gas sales by 2030.
As a reminder, the Group has an
objective of 52Mt CO
2
eq. in 2030 linked
to use of sold products (fuel sales).
THESE INVESTMENTS ALLOW THE
GROUP TO CONTINUE TO DECARBONIZE
ITS ENERGY PRODUCTION.
Renewable electricity (wind, hydraulic
and solar) will develop very widely to
reach around 65% of ENGIE’s production
in 2030.
Low-carbon thermal electricity
(electricity from biomass, biomethane,
renewable hydrogen, as well as
natural gas + CCS) will accelerate
its development from 2030 and will
then represent between 5 to 10%
of the fuel consumed.
As a reminder, the Group has an
objective of 43Mt CO
2
eq. in 2030
linked to energy generation.
