DIRECT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
share:
GRI 305-1
The PGNiG Group’s direct GHG emissions converted into CO₂ equivalent are generated by:
- combustion of fuels (natural gas, diesel oil, LPG, gasoline) carried out to generate electricity and heat in boilers, gas furnaces, power generators, line heaters, steam generators, glycol regenerators, gas engines, gas compressors, and fire pumps
- processes such as combustion of (discharge) natural gas on flare stacks, post-combustion of acid gases, storage (crude oil, methanol, LPG), reloading (crude oil, methanol, LPG), leakages, and gas venting from the installations
- auxiliary processes such as welding, painting, burning of fuels in heaters, pressure washers, mobile agricultural machinery and transport vehicles.

A short-term trend of GHG emissions stabilising despite constant rapid growth across the PGNiG Group has been recorded.

Currently, 18 installations of the PGNiG Group are covered by the EU ETS. In 2019, the volume of carbon dioxide emissions amounted to 6,277,263 Mg and was slightly lower than in previous years. As free allowances of CO2 emission rights decrease year by year, there is a need to purchase additional emission rights.
