To fight against global warming, Gaz de France:

• complies with the CO2 emission quotas imposed on energy-producing industries as part of the Kyoto protocol,
• has pre-empted regulatory measures by reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions. The Group's 2007 target is to achieve a 10% cut in direct emissions relative to 1990. In particular, Gaz de France is a member of France's Association of Companies for the Reduction of the Greenhouse Effect (AERES),
• supports its customers in their measures to control and manage their own greenhouse gas emissions. Gaz de France Group is promoting energy efficiency as a competitive advantage by selling highly energy-efficient equipment, conducting energy efficiency checkups, providing assistance with the upgrading of existing facilities, etc.,
• is a member of the Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF): the latter's goal is to collect funding for projects designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. This fund is based on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which aims to strengthen cooperation between the Developed World and Third World countries, and to stage Joint Implementation Actions (JIA) in East European countries,
• is innovating and experimenting with CO2 sequestration, a technology that reduces CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Gaz de France is for instance taking part in a project which involves injecting CO2 into a salt aquifer in the Snøhvit gasfield, Norway.
