Dourogás Natural – Comércio de Gás Natural e Energia, S.A. is proud to announce the achievement of two prestigious distinctions at the 5th edition of the National Sustainability Awards, promoted by Jornal de Negócios. The recognition was awarded in the categories of Sustainable Mobility and Decarbonization.
Sustainable Mobility: Biomethane as a Clean Alternative for Transportation
In the Sustainable Mobility category, Dourogás stood out with its ‘Biomethane: the Waste of some is the Fuel of others’ initiative, an innovative project that transforms waste into renewable energy, offering a clean and efficient solution for the transport sector. The impact of this initiative is significant: in 2023 alone, the operation avoided the emission of 23,000 tons of CO₂eq. In 2024, this figure more than tripled, reaching 73,500 tons of CO₂eq avoided, as a result of replacing fossil fuels like diesel with biomethane. This achievement places Dourogás at the forefront of sustainable mobility in Portugal.

Decarbonization: The Key to a Greener Industry
In the Decarbonization category, Dourogás was awarded for the project “Biomethane: The Key to Renewable Transition in Hard-to-Decarbonize Sectors.” This initiative aims to accelerate the decarbonization of key sectors, such as industry and mobility, through the commercialization of biomethane—a 100% renewable gas that can be integrated into existing natural gas infrastructure without the need for adaptations. Since its launch, this innovative solution has already avoided the emission of around 97,000 tons of CO₂eq, reinforcing Dourogás’ positive impact on emission reduction and consolidating its leadership in the national energy transition.

Recognition for Commitment to Sustainability
These distinctions are a recognition of Dourogás’ continuous work in leading the energy transition in Portugal. The company remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and energy efficiency, investing in solutions that promote carbon footprint reduction and environmental protection. Dourogás remains committed to promoting sustainable mobility and industrial decarbonization, contributing to a greener economy and an environmentally responsible future.
