Plan climat 2025 : Engie statu quo sur le gaz
Summary
The analysis finds that Engie's 2025 climate plan lacks a phase-out date for fossil gas and continues gas expansion through new plants and LNG contracts. While renewable targets increased to 95 GW by 2030, the company remains on a 'well below 2°C' trajectory rather than 1.5°C, with a decarbonization goal of 2045 that contradicts IEA Net Zero scenarios. CAPEX for fossil technologies remains nearly stable, and the company's reliance on hydrogen and biomethane is viewed as a risk for perpetuating fossil systems.
Key insights
- Engie's 2025 climate plan shows no reduction in fossil gas production capacities compared to 2024, with gas remaining stable at approximately 50% of its energy mix. The plan lacks a specific exit date for fossil gas or a detailed phase-out plan for individual gas assets.
- The company continues its gas expansion strategy through new gas power plants, extensions of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals, and long-term LNG import contracts, despite these being incompatible with the climate goals of the relevant countries.
- Engie has increased its 2030 renewable energy capacity target by 5 GW to a total of 95 GW, but this increase does not offset the continued reliance on fossil gas.
- Engie's decarbonization target of 2045 is deemed incompatible with the IEA's Net Zero Emissions (NZE) scenario, which requires electricity sector decarbonization by 2035 in advanced economies and 2040 elsewhere. Consequently, Engie remains on a 'well below 2°C' trajectory rather than 1.5°C.
- Analysis of CAPEX for 2025-2027 shows that the share allocated to fossil technologies is nearly unchanged from the 2024-2026 period, with 'Production d’énergie via le gaz fossile et infrastructures non alignées' moving from 9.7% to 9.8% of total CAPEX.
