Source characteristic |
| Offshore wind energy |
The company installs wind turbines in the sea at a distance of 20 km from land. They are 2 times more effective than turbines located on land, because the wind in the open sea is more stable and stronger than the continental one. |
| Geothermal energy (including marine one) |
Stations built on geothermal sources emit CO2 into the environment 10 times less than thermal power plants. Special government programmes support the idea of popularizing geothermal sources. |
| Biomass |
For several years, ENGIE carried out unique projects to use various types of biomass except wood for clean energy. At the moment, the company produces energy from the seeds and pulp of olives, coffee grounds, plant debris and sewage sludge. |
| Biogas |
The company carries out anaerobic transformation of organic, household, agricultural waste, which allows to obtain clean energy without greenhouse gas emissions. Waste from energy production is used as organic fertilizer, which reduces the share of chemical fertilizers. |
| Hydrogen |
ENGIE invests in the production of hydrogen from renewable sources and its use, as its use contributes to decarbonisation of production processes, to obtain environmentally friendly automotive fuel. |
