Participations & Business Development

GTS is building the gas roundabout of north-west Europe, and Participations and Business Development builds the important ‘junctions’ on the roundabout - Ulco Vermeulen, Managing Director of Participations & Business Development

The gas roundabout is the infrastructure belonging to GTS and Gasunie Deutschland which serves the Dutch and German markets and which links the different ‘junctions’.

These ‘junctions’ on the gas roundabout bring gas to the roundabout (Nord Stream, BBL and Gate), store the gas in order to meet fluctuations in gas demand (Gasunie Zuidwending), and stimulate the market for green gas (natural gas produced from biomass) through the issue of green gas certificates (Vertogas).

The whole system ensures that gas can be freely transported between Russia and the UK, from Qatar (as LNG) to Rotterdam and on to Germany, from Belgium to Denmark, and so on and so forth. Gasunie Participations and Business Development makes these ‘junctions’ possible – with and without business partners.
