Equinor has signed a five-year agreement with the Dutch energy company Eneco for supplies of natural gas from the Norwegian continental shelf, which will be delivered to Eneco’s wholly owned German subsidiary LichtBlick.
The agreement runs until the end of 2030 and covers annual volumes of around 2.2 terawatt‑hours (around 0.2 bcm/year), and deliveries to Germany started in April 2026.
The gas supplied under the agreement has a greenhouse gas intensity lower than alternative supply into the German grid.
Eneco will purchase from Equinor guarantees of origin, named ‘sustainability qualities’, via the Attributes SAS platform. According to LichtBlick, gas under this contract has around 9% lower greenhouse gas intensity than their alternative sources.
“Norwegian gas plays an important role in supporting Europe’s energy security while also contributing to lower emissions compared with other gas sources.
