GDF SUEZ is a major gas player in Europe, active across the entire value chain:
Natural gas, a distinctive fossil energy
Like oil and coal, natural gas stems from the natural transformation of organic matter into gas, but with the significant distinctive feature of being the least polluting fossil fuel.
In 2009, natural gas accounted for 54% of the Group’s capacities and 50% of its electricity production. By focusing on the most efficient technologies producing the highest yields (combined gas steam cycles), G

GDF SUEZ, active across the entire gas chain
From the gas field to the end user, the gas chain comprises many links.
- Exploration-production to find and exploit new fields,
- Transport, whether by land (by gas pipeline) or by sea in the form of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG),
- Storage,
- Marketing and distribution to end customers,
- Associated energy services.

A less known but equally efficient use of natural gas is as fuel for motor vehicles: NGV |
GDF SUEZ, Europe’s No.1 LNG player
Transported by sea in purpose-designed tankers, LNG is the ideal solution to exploit fields located on other continents where gas pipelines are impossible to build. When LNG arrives at the LNG terminals, it is stored, regasified, and then sent into the natural gas transmission network.
