Green gas can be used in the same way as today's natural gas. It is a sustainable alternative to natural gas because it is CO2-neutral. We can transport and store green gas on a large scale via the existing infrastructure. Gasunie is working with a range of parties to develop the installations and techniques needed to make green gas affordable.

Unlike natural gas, green gas is not a fossil fuel — it is derived from organic waste material like sewer sludge and animal manure. Commonly used methods to turn this material into biogas are anaerobic digestion and gasification. The biogas is then captured and upgraded to the quality of natural gas. This we call ‘green gas’.
In the Netherlands, 2 billion m3 of green gas must flow through the networks by 2030. This has been laid down in the Climate Agreement. We are therefore working with other organizations to find ways of making and delivering green gas cheaper and on a large scale.

We believe that, during the energy transition, this sustainable replacement for natural gas will play a prominent role. In addition, 2 billion m3 of green gas must flow through the networks in the Netherlands by 2030, as laid down in the Climate Agreement.
