Natural gas
We have taken natural gas as an energy source for granted for many decades. We have used it to heat our homes, in manufacturing and industry, to generate electricity and more.
Our current energy system is largely based on natural gas as an energy source. As the share of renewable energy increases, the role of natural gas is gradually diminishing. However, we are not there yet. For the time being, natural gas remains essential to ensuring a reliable energy supply. EBN is involved in all natural gas production projects in the Netherlands.
The role of EBN
EBN has been designated by the Dutch State to participate in the production and sale of natural gas. To help ensure efficient exploration and production, EBN holds an interest in virtually all gas fields and production sites, as well as in offshore pipeline infrastructure.
Natural gas, data and knowledge
EBN has access to a large volume of data that supports specialised analyses by companies active in the exploration and production (E&P) sector. This data is made publicly available through databases via the EBN Data Centre.
