ENGIE and Equinor agree to include documentation of origin and greenhouse gas footprint of Norwegian gas in existing gas sales agreement.
The agreement reflects the lower-than-average greenhouse gas footprint of Norwegian gas production and transport compared with other sources of gas supplied to Europe. Equinor will transfer to ENGIE certificates of origin and documentation of greenhouse gas emissions, named ‘sustainability qualities’, via a platform operated by provider Attributes SAS.
Clients and regulators are increasingly requesting more information about the origins of energy. The companies are now announcing one of the first voluntary transactions on gas, tracking and tracing the sustainability qualities on the Attributes SAS platform. This way the carbon intensity, methane leakage and origin for natural gas can be identified and tracked from well to market.
Backed by its production on the Norwegian continental shelf, Equinor facilities are amongst the lowest GHG emitters of any natural gas production in the world. ENGIE has one of the largest client franchises in the world. The companies use Attributes SAS to provide independent tracking of Equinor’s emissions data as reported to and published by Norwegian Authorities from Equinor to ENGIE.
