- 5-year gas supply agreement from Equinor to Eneco's German unit LichtBlick: ~2.2 TWh/yr (~0.2 bcm/yr) until end-2030, deliveries from April 2026.
- Contract gas has about 9% lower upstream greenhouse-gas intensity than alternatives, tracked via the Attributes SAS guarantees-of-origin platform.
- Supply is sourced from the Norwegian continental shelf, where electrification and value-chain improvements have reduced production and transport emissions.
- Deal reflects role of natural gas in supporting renewable integration and security of supply during Europe’s energy transition.
Contract overview
Equinor signed a five-year agreement to supply Eneco’s German unit LichtBlick with around 2.2 TWh per year (~0.2 bcm/yr) of natural gas, with deliveries starting in April 2026 and running until the end of 2030.
Emissions and tracking
The gas under the contract has a documented lower upstream greenhouse‑gas intensity — LichtBlick cites about 9% lower than their alternative sources — and emissions data are tracked via guarantees of origin on the Attributes SAS platform.
Supply source and emission reductions
Volumes are sourced from the Norwegian continental shelf, where electrification of offshore facilities and value‑chain improvements have reduced production and transport emissions compared with many global gas sources.
Role in energy transition
The agreement reflects continued use of natural gas in Europe to provide flexibility for rising shares of renewable power and to support security of supply during the transition to a lower‑carbon energy system.
