Together mobilised to respond to the climate challenge

In response to the climate challenge, GRTgaz has adopted ambitious carbon targets for its own needs and those of the gas industry, aiming to keep to a carbon trajectory well below 2°C, compatible with the Paris Agreement and the national low-carbon strategy for emis-sions within its manageable scopes.

This diagram shows the climate strategy at GRTgaz.

  • Anthropogenic emissions
  • Anthropogenic sinks

Global levers: 

  • Reducing emissions
  • Developing sinks

Levers at the scale of GRTgaz: 

  • Pillar A - I reduce my GHG emissions
  • Pillar B - I reduce other’s emissions 
  • Pillar C - I develop carbon sinks

Targets for reducing our carbon emissions (manageable scopes) vs 2019 

  • 2024: -20%
  • 2030: -40%
