GRTgaz is a European leader in the transportation of gas and a world expert in gas systems. In France, the company operates over 32,000 km of underground pipelines to transport gas from suppliers to the consumers connected to its network (including public distribution operators who serve municipalities, power plants and over 700 industrial sites).
GRTgaz performs public service missions aimed at guaranteeing the continuity of supply and offers its customers access to the network, and to improved energy performance. With its subsidiaries Elengy, a leader in LNG terminal services in Europe, and GRTgaz Deutschland, an operator of the MEGAL transport network in Germany, GRTgaz plays a key role on the European gas infrastructure scene. It exports its know-how internationally, thanks in large part to the services developed by its research center, RICE (Research and Innovation Center for Energy).
As an actor in energy transition, GRTgaz is investing in innovative solutions to accommodate a maximum amount of renewable gases, including hydrogen, on its network, thereby supporting these new sectors and contributing to achieving carbon neutrality.

LafargeHolcim
Country:
LafargeHolcim is the global leader in building materials and solutions and active in four business segments: cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete and solutions & products. It is our ambition to lead the industry in reducing carbon emissions and accelerating the transition towards low-carbon construction. With the strongest R&D organisation in the industry and by being at the forefront of innovation in building materials we seek to constantly introduce and promote high-quality and sustainable building materials and solutions to our customers worldwide.
LafargeHolcim is working on a number of CCU/S pilot projects so that it can replicate the best solutions across its 270 sites. Working with other multinationals as well as start-ups, the pilots are evaluated in terms of cost, technical feasibility, compatibility with CO2 usage opportunities and other aspects of viability and scalability. Our objective is to develop a handful of solutions for use and storage that can be combined in different ways and environments. However, no single solution will be perfectly scalable as different environments present different conditions, from local partners to geological conditions that are favourable for storage.
LafargeHolcim is currently spearheading over twenty CCU/S projects in the US, Canada and Europe, placing the company at the forefront of low-carbon construction.
