GRTgaz - Connecting the energy of tomorrow activity and sustainable development report 2016

Creators

Description

GRTgaz owns and operates the natural gas transmission network that covers most of France. With over 32,450 Km of pipelines, the GRTgaz network is the longest in Europe and one of the most interconnected. In 2016, GRTgaz invested Euro 600 million to transmit natural gas in the best possible conditions of safety and reliability, extend the network and its interconnections, optimise its operation, reinforce the security of energy supplies for regions, France and Europe, while being heavily involved in the energy transition. The transmission network is a key vehicle. Now open to biomethane, a 100% renewable, locally-produced biogas, it will soon enable us to store and transmit surplus solar or wind-produced electricity in the form of hydrogen or synthetic methane. GRTgaz has started the construction of a demonstrator. GRTgaz employs almost 3,000 people
