e NG Coalition

What e NG Coalition does

The e-NG Coalition is an international non-profit association (ivzw) organized under Belgian law, headquartered in Zaventem, Belgium, and founded in July 2024 by eight pioneering energy companies. It operates as a collaborative industry alliance advancing electric Natural Gas (e-NG), a carbon-neutral synthetic methane produced by combining renewable hydrogen with CO2 through catalytic methanation. e-NG is chemically indistinguishable from conventional natural gas and is designed to leverage existing pipeline, LNG, and storage infrastructure for renewable gas deployment.

The Coalition's core offerings include the Global Map of e-NG Projects (tracking 150+ projects worldwide), a Life Cycle Assessment Dynamic Model, the eNGAGE Quarterly Magazine, and a SharePoint-based Member Space. It generates revenue solely through recurring membership fees from 25+ enterprise energy companies spanning the full e-NG value chain: producers (Electrochaea, TES, StormFisher Hydrogen), infrastructure operators (Italgas, KOGAS, Sempra Infrastructure), trading houses (Mitsubishi, Itochu), gas utilities (Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Toho Gas), and global energy majors (TotalEnergies, Shell, ENGIE). Its primary go-to-market is community-led, engaging members through policy consultations, working groups, international forums (IEA, CEM, Molecule Group), and advocacy campaigns targeting EU RED III, RFNBO Delegated Acts, IMO Net-Zero Framework, and GHG Protocol reform.

The Coalition is governed by a Chair (Yoann Matot of TotalEnergies) and Vice-Chair (Koji Hirayama of Mitsubishi Corporation), with a small operational staff in policy, communications, and PMO functions. Its strategic positioning rests on e-NG being the only renewable gas pathway explicitly named in the Belém Pledge, which it leverages to shape international carbon accounting and renewable fuel frameworks on behalf of its members.

Core offering

The e-NG Coalition is a global industry alliance that advocates for and coordinates the development of electric Natural Gas (e-NG), a carbon-neutral synthetic methane produced by combining renewable hydrogen with CO2 via methanation. It sells membership access to energy companies and infrastructure operators, and delivers policy advocacy, harmonized regulatory frameworks, knowledge sharing, networking, and project transparency tools (notably the Global Map of e-NG Projects) to accelerate e-NG deployment worldwide.

Product overview

The e-NG Coalition is a collaborative industry alliance (not a technology product company) focused on accelerating the global development of electric Natural Gas (e-NG). The Coalition offers an interactive Global Map of e-NG Projects as its core visibility product, tracking worldwide project development. Supporting offerings include a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Dynamic Model for GHG emissions analysis, the eNGAGE Quarterly Magazine for industry insights, and a Member Space Portal for member collaboration. The Coalition primarily serves as a policy advocacy and industry coordination body rather than a software product provider.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• International Gas Union (IGU): World Gas Conference-organizing global gas industry association with 120+ member countries and companies. Overlapping advocacy footprint (gas infrastructure, hydrogen blending, decarbonized gases) and serves as the broader incumbent umbrella the e-NG Coalition engages with on policy.

Direct peers

• Global CCS Institute: International think-tank and convenor (originating in Australia) accelerating carbon capture and storage deployment via policy, project tracking, and knowledge sharing. Comparable remit to the Coalition's Global Map of e-NG Projects and Policy library, with the analogous CO2-supply angle.
• Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2): Brussels-headquartered non-profit driving the Green Hydrogen Standard and global green hydrogen adoption, including developing-country initiatives. Same advocacy-and-standards archetype as the e-NG Coalition, focused on the upstream hydrogen feedstock that e-NG also depends on.
• Carbon Capture Coalition: US-based, 90+ member coalition advocating for deployment of carbon capture technologies with member dues and policy campaigns. Same member-funded advocacy archetype, and a key counterpart for the CO2 feedstock question central to e-NG's value chain.
• Hydrogen Council: Global CEO-level coalition of 140+ companies headquartered in Brussels advancing hydrogen across policy, finance, and demand. Directly comparable structure to the e-NG Coalition: member-fee-funded, advocacy-led, working IEA/CEM/Molecule Group channels, and focused on a specific molecule category.
• European Hydrogen Backbone: Consortium of European gas TSOs (Enagás, Fluxys, Gasunie, GRTgaz, etc.) planning 28,000+ km of dedicated hydrogen pipelines. Highly comparable as a multi-TSO advocacy initiative targeting hydrogen infrastructure and policy frameworks, complementing e-NG's downstream gas-grid integration agenda.
• World Biogas Association: UK-based global trade association promoting biogas and biomethane through policy advocacy and standards work. Closely comparable model — membership-funded advocacy body working with regulators and standards bodies on a renewable gas pathway that competes and complements e-NG.

Emerging players

• Methanol Institute: Singapore-headquartered trade association for the global methanol industry including renewable/e-methanol pathways. Comparable membership-funded advocacy model for an adjacent synthetic fuel category that competes with e-NG for renewable hydrogen demand and policy recognition.
• Ammonia Energy Association: Global industry association promoting ammonia (particularly green ammonia) as a clean fuel and hydrogen carrier. Same advocacy-and-convening model for a parallel synthetic fuel pathway that competes with e-NG for renewable hydrogen offtake and shipping/maritime end-use.

Regional players

• RenewableUK: UK trade association for wind, wave, and tidal energy covering advocacy, policy, and standards. Demonstrates a similar membership-funded industry advocacy archetype but focused on UK wind/marine assets rather than renewable gases globally.
