GRDF strengthens its partnership with Floene !

During President Macron's visit to Portugal, GRDF CEO Laurence Poirier-Dietz joined discussions on economic cooperation. GRDF and Floene renewed their partnership with an MoU signed alongside Marc Ferracci, Minister Delegate for Industry and Energy. This agreement accelerates the renewable gas transition and supports the EU’s goal of producing 35 bcm of biomethane by 2030. Earlier, GRDF had welcomed a Portuguese delegation, including Floene and agricultural representatives. Currently, few biogas plants are connected to Portugal's gas network which is why a study tour was organized as part of a consulting contract signed with Floene.
