GasNaturally

What GasNaturally does

GasNaturally is a private industry partnership, founded in December 2011 and headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, that represents the European gas value chain through seven member associations. Its activities span exploration and production, transmission, distribution, wholesale and retail operations, and gas in transport, covering natural gas, LNG, biomethane, renewable gases, and hydrogen. Rather than selling commercial products, GasNaturally functions as an advocacy and policy-influence organisation, engaging directly with the European Commission, European Parliament, EU Council, and member state governments on issues including gas market reform, methane regulation, the EU taxonomy, REPowerEU, and Fit for 55.

Its core outputs are publications, position papers, and policy events rather than a unified technology product. Documented outputs include the Long-term Vision of the European Gas Industry brochure, the Manifesto of the European Gas Industry, factsheets on renewable gases, residential heating solutions, heavy-duty transport decarbonisation, and gas appliances, plus joint statements with EU Council presidencies. The partnership is led by a President (Dawn Summers, COO of Wintershall Dea, re-elected December 2022) and a Steering Committee Chair (François-Régis Mouton), with operations managed by a small Brussels-based secretariat of 11–50 employees.

The business model is membership-funded: GasNaturally does not disclose pricing, charge for services, or generate commercial revenue from external customers. Funding flows from its partner associations, and economic value is realised indirectly through the policy and regulatory outcomes it seeks to influence for its members. Operating geographies are restricted to Europe, and the organisation holds no subsidiaries, funding rounds, or external equity ownership.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• IOGP (International Association of Oil & Gas Producers): Global upstream oil and gas producers' association. Comparable as a broader industry body whose member companies overlap with GasNaturally's E&P-focused member associations on upstream policy and methane regulation.
• International Gas Union (IGU): Global gas industry organisation covering the entire gas value chain worldwide. A broader incumbent peer that, like GasNaturally, advocates for gas in the energy transition but at a global rather than European-specific level.
• FuelsEurope: European petroleum refining industry association. Adjacent industry association engaging on EU fuel policy, Fit-for-55, and energy transition, with comparable advocacy structure and overlapping membership with GasNaturally's transport-focused work.

Emerging players

• Hydrogen Europe: European hydrogen industry association representing electrolyser producers, gas utilities, and end-users. Comparable as an emerging complementary voice within the same gas-value-chain ecosystem that GasNaturally represents, particularly on renewable and low-carbon hydrogen policy.
• Bioenergy Europe: European bioenergy association representing biomass and biomethane producers. Overlaps with GasNaturally on biomethane policy and on the role of renewable gases in EU decarbonisation, and is a complementary EU-level advocacy counterpart.

Others

• CEER (Council of European Energy Regulators): Body of independent European energy regulators. Not a direct industry advocate but a key counterpart that GasNaturally engages with on gas market regulation; included as an ecosystem participant shaping the regulatory environment for GasNaturally's members.

Direct peers

• Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE): Represents European gas infrastructure operators (transmission, storage, LNG terminals). Direct peer focused on the infrastructure segment of the value chain that GasNaturally represents; co-advocates on storage and LNG policy within the EU.
• Eurogas: The European gas industry association representing the gas value chain at EU level. Direct peer to GasNaturally with overlapping membership (e.g., both engage gas transmission and distribution operators) and similar policy advocacy focus on EU gas market reform and decarbonisation.
• ENTSOG (European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas): Association of European gas transmission system operators engaged in network code development and EU regulatory engagement. Highly comparable given shared focus on gas transmission policy and infrastructure planning.
• Marcogaz: Technical association of the European natural gas industry focused on standardisation and technical expertise. Comparable as a sector-wide European gas body that supports the same membership base on technical and regulatory matters.
