Our new name NaTran and our new tagline "The heart of your energies" bear witness to this: our 20th anniversary is an opportunity to open a new chapter in our history. This change of identity is twofold: GRTgaz becomes NaTran, and our research center, RICE, becomes NaTran R&I, to fully embrace this identity.
Our course is clear: to guarantee the research and innovation necessary to enable NaTran to become a benchmark operator in Europe for the transport and logistics of renewable and low-carbon gases, hydrogen and CO2.
Indeed, Natran is committed to an ambitious corporate project: aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050, with a first decisive milestone in 2030. The NaTran2030 project aims to :
- make at least 50% green investments by 2030;
- multiply by five the volume of renewable gas injected into our networks;
- create the first open hydrogen and CO2 infrastructures in France;
- reduce our carbon footprint by 40% ;
- attract and develop the skills needed for our transformation.
Against this backdrop, our five R&I programs will be more vital than ever in helping to light the way for NaTran in this project, and more broadly to support all our gas infrastructure customers and beyond on the road to decarbonization and industrial efficiency.
Backed by the expertise of our employees and in close cooperation with our stakeholders, and in a long tradition in which technical excellence, safety, performance and concern for the public interest are deeply rooted, we are opening a new page in our history under the name NaTran R&I.
