Equinor and Eneco sign contract for gas documenting greenhouse gas footprint

Equinor and Eneco have signed a 5-year agreement for deliveries of gas to Eneco in the Netherlands. The agreement concerns gas with a lower greenhouse gas footprint, because production and transport of gas on the Norwegian continental shelf has a considerably lower greenhouse gas footprint compared to other sources of gas supplied to Europe. Expected volumes will be up to around 0.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year, with deliveries to the Dutch gas grid operated by GTS. Deliveries started from 1 February 2026.

With this new agreement, Eneco reduces the relative CO2 emissions of the natural gas it supplies by more than 10%. Together with the delivery of gas, Equinor will transfer to Eneco certificates of origin, named ‘sustainability qualities’, via a platform operated by provider Attributes.

 ‘I am very pleased that we have made this agreement, which includes this new offering, with Eneco, a major energy provider dedicated to sustainability. This is among the first agreements that we make on the Attributes platform and an example of how key European energy players regard Norwegian gas as a contribution to energy security and attractive also from a sustainability point of view’, says Equinor’s SVP Gas & Power Helle Østergaard Kristiansen.

Eneco’s Chief Executive Officer Kees Jan Rameau adds: ‘We are happy with this new deal with Equinor, a longtime supplier and partner. It marks another step to our One Planet goal of climate neutrality. En route to that goal, natural gas will remain a necessary component in the energy mix for some time, so we are glad that with this agreement we are sourcing gas with the lowest emissions available.

Attributes’s digital platform (see link: Home | Attributes | Energy Traceability ) provide independent tracking of Equinor’s emissions data to Eneco, as reported to and published by Norwegian Authorities.
