Against the background of the geopolitical situation and its substantial impact on the natural gas market, the April natural gas price in Europe is currently forecast at around 250-300 EUR/MWh.
Latvijas Gāze supplies customers with natural gas, which is the most convenient and environmentally friendly traditional fuel for consumers. At times, when environmental aspects are playing an important role in our decision-making, Latvijas Gāze has developed an environmental policy that identifies initiatives that promote greater responsibility for the environment, as well as the development and spread of environmentally friendly technologies.
The use of biomethane in transport is closely linked to the development of natural gas filling infrastructure, as well as the increase in the number of CNG cars. It is the next step towards climate neutrality and environmentally friendly energy.
2021 was unexpectedly challenging and dynamic for the natural gas market. Several global conditions caused a sharp price jump because of which the price of natural gas was almost 6 times higher at the end of 2021 than at the beginning of the year. This has had a significant impact on both natural gas users and natural gas traders.
Environmental responsibility means not only goals and policies, but also real actions, so a tree stand has been planted with the support of the company, which will help reduce harmful CO2 emissions for many years to come.
Latvijas Gāze has introduced and implements an environmental management system, thus confirming the company's high standards, the purposeful reduction of its impact on the environment, and responsible management. The company has received the internationally recognised ISO 14001 certificate, which confirms that the environmental management of Latvijas Gāze complies with the international standards and best practices.
