Where we go ?

Natural gas is part of the solution:providing a clean and reliable fuel

for urban areas and industry

And the industry is challenge to develop further :

affordability

synergies with renewable such as thermal solar, bio-gas, hydrogen

technologies for more advanced integrated energy systems (fuel cells, micro turbines…)
