Equinor and Dutch energy company Eneco have signed a five-year agreement for natural gas deliveries. The covers around 9 TWh of natural gas per year, or approximately 0.9 billion cubic metres, to the Dutch gas grid with deliveries started on 1 October 2026.
The agreement covers gas from the Norwegian continental shelf, where production and pipeline transport have a comparatively low greenhouse gas footprint among gas sources supplied to Europe. Commercial terms are confidential between the parties.
In addition to the gas supply, Equinor will transfer verified environmental attributes to Eneco through the digital platform operated by Attributes SA. The greenhouse gas footprint of the gas under this contract is 11.8% lower* than the average for gas supplied through the Dutch grid.
“This is the third long-term agreement we have signed with Eneco this year, and I am very pleased that we are further expanding our relationship. Across all three agreements, the gas supplied by Equinor includes verified attributes through the Attributes platform, providing documented data on the origin of the gas and its upstream greenhouse gas footprint. This is another clear signal that major European energy companies value Norwegian gas for its reliability and comparatively low emissions footprint,” says Helle Østergaard Kristiansen, Equinor’s senior vice president for Gas & Power.
