ENGIE signs deal to supply Heathrow Airport terminals with green gas

ENGIE has announced an agreement with Heathrow Airport to replace natural gas with 100% green biomethane from anaerobic digestion across all terminals until March 2022.

This agreement builds on an existing partnership where ENGIE has been supplying biomethane to Heathrow’s Energy Centre, as well as natural gas to other areas.

The biomethane is certified under the Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs) Scheme as being "wholly derived from anaerobic digestion" - it is sourced from different producers using a variety of feedstocks and results in reduced carbon emissions compared to natural gas.

Matt Gorman, Heathrow’s Director of Sustainability, said: “The UK aviation industry has made a firm commitment to get to net zero by 2050, at the very latest.

"On our journey to rapidly decarbonise every aspect of the industry, we are proud to be partnering with ENGIE to significantly remove carbon from our gas supply, a move that has also helped us to gain carbon neutral status. We urge other companies to join us in making the switch.”
