Renewable Gas: in pursuit of a sustainable energy future

Our Vision as a business is to deliver infrastructure essential to a sustainable energy future. Learn about our plans to reduce carbon emissions in the gas network by transitioning to 100% renewable gas.

 

Our Net Zero Ambition 

Our Net Zero Ambition is:

Whilst emissions from the use of gas delivered by AGIG infrastructure is not classified as scope 1, 2 or 3 emissions for AGIG, our Net Zero Ambition emphasises going beyond our direct responsibilities to support our customers in their efforts to reduce emissions.

We are targeting net zero scope 1 and 2 emissions across all our operations by 2050, with an interim aim to reduce our reported scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.

That’s why we aim to facilitate customer access to renewable or carbon-neutral gases, at volumes equal to 10% of the gas delivered through the distribution network. Our aspiration is for 100% renewable or carbon-neutral gas in our distribution networks by 2050.

AGIG is already investing in projects that demonstrate the pathway to a low-carbon future. We are building renewable gas production facilities and preparing new and existing assets, for future fuel and carbon transport and storage.In addition to developing our own renewable gas projects across Australia, we are committed to working with governments, industry and research organisations to develop our Vision collaboratively.

Hydrogen Vision 2050

What is renewable gas?

Renewable and carbon-neutral gases such as renewable hydrogen and biomethane can be used in the same way as natural gas is today, but do not result in additional carbon emissions to the atmosphere.

Renewable hydrogen does not contain any carbon and can be produced using renewable electricity.

Biomethane is carbon neutral - it harnesses the energy potential from organic materials such as agricultural waste and sewage, supporting the circular economy.

By blending and ultimately replacing natural gas with renewable gas we can use our existing infrastructure to supply carbon neutral gas supply to our customers. It also means customers retain their choice of energy supply, and those industries relying on gas can continue to access it.

Our renewable gas projects

As a business we are responding, taking active steps to sustainable gas delivery today, and tomorrow. In 2017, we worked with Australia’s five peak gas bodies to develop Gas Vision 2050 - a pathway to achieve near zero emissions in our gas sector.


We are now delivering on this Vision, leading the way in renewable gas by delivering a range of innovative energy projects across Australia and across the gas value chain.

 

We are delivering renewable gas projects
across the country and across the value chain
