BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov.12
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Spanish Enagas is approaching its decarbonisation roadmap in line with the mitigation hierarchy, the company, which plans to reach net zero target by 2040, told Trend.
The roadmap envisages reduction of emissions by prioritising the implementation of measures with the greatest impact on our emissions, which includes improved operational efficiency at machine and system level with new technologies; use of gas from renewable sources for self-consumption of natural gas; electrification of natural gas consumption.
Moreover, the target is ensuring subsequent offsetting of emissions that cannot technically be reduced: carbon capture and storage solutions; study of alternatives to reach carbon neutrality in the points where the previous options are not possible and/or profitable (offsetting - reforestation).
“Our decarbonisation approach also has an exponential effect, helping to bring down third-party emissions in the areas of renewable gases and new uses of natural gas. Enagás is currently developing more than 55 projects with more than 50 partners for the decarbonisation of different sectors and regions where the energy transition can have a bigger impact,” said the company.
All the projects have common objectives of contribution to: decarbonisation and a fair energy transition; develop all the value chain; the development of the Spanish renewable industry all around the territory; jobs creation; always in collaboration with reliable partners.
