Green gases: central to metting energy challenges

Accelerator of the energy transition

The environment, climate and energy emergencies are increasingly seen as top-priority issues. Teréga is actively involved in achieving the national target of 10% renewable gas consumed in 2030, thus building a low-carbon energy mix.

To that end, we are pursuing our initiatives to prepare for and encourage the integration of renewable gases.

Hydrogen

Decarbonised hydrogen could help us tackle two challenges at once: accelerating the energy transition and strengthening France’s industrial fabric.A variety of solutions are being researched to move across to decarbonised hydrogen production. They include electrolysis of water, and waste pyro-gasification.

We are working to adapt our gas infrastructures to allow either the injection of hydrogen in a mix into the gas grid, or the injection of pure hydrogen into a dedicated transport grid.

Teréga launches the HySow project, a hydrogen transport and storage infrastructure and a major component of the future European hydrogen backbone.

Hydrogen production by the electrolysis of water

NGV and BioNGV

Natural Gas for Vehicles is natural gas used as a fuel. It offers one of the best balances between economy and and overall cost of use. NGV has a number of advantages, including virtually zero fine particulate emissions, NOx emissions at half the Euro VI standard level, a lower price than traditional fuels, and the option to replace natural gas with biomethane, which is even greener: bioNGV.

In 2021, two public filling station on our grid was opened in Damazan (47) and Saint-Sulpice (81) as well as three private stations for our own fleet.

Biomethane

Methanisation projects enable us to recycle waste, produce renewable energy, and create non-relocatable employment.

The natural methanisation process consists in breaking down organic matter to produce biogas which, after treatment, can be injected into the grid as biomethane.

We provide support to all those leading biomethane projects, such as the Fonroche industrial plant in Villeneuve-sur-Lot and the AgriEnergies agricultural methanization projects in Auros and Mélusine in Aillas.

Multi-energy

In France, the different energy networks operate independently of one another, resulting in energy losses of between 25 and 60%.

The aim of multi-energies is to join up those networks, resulting in greater energy efficiency with optimised production closer to where consumers need it, energy transformation (electricity into hydrogen, for example, to allow storage) and energy storage for use at a later date.

Teréga has launched the IMPULSE 2025 project, a smart multi-energy grid that puts this approach into practice.

Synthetic methane

The methanation process which produces synthetic methane enables the recycling of CO2 from other processes, such as methanisation, transforming it into methane by adding renewably sourced H2. This means that methanation can double the energy production efficiency of a methanisation plant, while at the same time reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.

We make an active contribution to collaborative projects designed to produce synthetic methane at both the laboratory and industrial scales, supporting projects such as Methamag and Jupiter 1000.

Call for expressions of interest (AMI) H2 and CO2

In December 2022, as part of its decarbonization strategy, Europe identified H2 and CO2 infrastructure projects likely to be of interest to the EU. On this occasion, the projects led by Teréga (HySoW, Pycasso and H2-Med BARMAR as part of the consortium in place) received strong support from dozens of stakeholders in our territory.

Teréga then decided to launch this AMI, with the aim of gaining a clearer picture of the needs of the various regional, national and European players in the field of H2 and CO2 transport and storage. The results of this AMI will also enable us to evolve the design of our projects to respond as optimally as possible to the needs of players and territories.
