Equinor has signed a five-year agreement to supply up to 500 mcm (17.7 bcf) of gas per year to Dutch energy company Eneco, Equinor announced on Thursday.
Headquartered in Rotterdam, Eneco is a provider of electricity and natural gas to household and corporate customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK. The supply agreement is effective from February 1, 2026.
Equinor will provide Eneco with guarantees of origin for the gas via a platform operated by Paris- and Brussels-based traceability specialist firm Attributes, which provides independent tracking information on Equinor’s emissions, as reported to the Norwegian authorities.
“This is among the first agreements that we make on the Attributes SAS platform and an example of how key European energy players regard Norwegian gas as a contribution to energy security and attractive also from a sustainability point of view,” said Equinor senior vice-president, Gas & Power, Helle Østergaard Kristiansen.
Natural gas originating in the Norwegian continental shelf has a smaller GHG footprint than gas that reaches Europe from other sources. Eneco’s reported carbon dioxide emissions will be lowered by more than 10% through this agreement, according to the company.
