Natural gas solutions
At OMV Gas, we offer comprehensive gas solutions tailored to your business needs. With our clear customer focus and extensive experience in sales, trading, logistics, and procurement, we ensure you receive reliable and efficient gas products. Our expertise allows us to provide partnership-based solutions that are perfectly suited to your requirements, helping you achieve your business goals.
Natural gas has lower emissions than other fossil fuels, making it an essential source of energy to bridge the gap left by coal and nuclear power when renewable energy sources like solar, hydropower, and wind are insufficient. At OMV Gas, our goal is to ensure a secure and reliable energy supply. In this context, natural gas plays an important role and, when combusted, produces lower CO2 emissions compared to coal and oil.
About OMV Gas
With about 70 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, we combine flexibility, high service levels, and international expertise to be the reliable partner you can count on. We have supported our customers in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands for many years through our industry knowledge, sales expertise, and trading activities in Europe’s most important natural gas hubs.
We are constantly working to diversify our supply sources. Natural gas from our own production, long-term contracts with international natural gas producers, storage and transport operators, and capacities at the LNG terminal in Rotterdam are the basis for a secure supply to our customers. Our expertise and commitment to service help us grow together with our customers.
Strategy
The future energy demand in Europe depends on various factors, including economic growth, demographic developments, energy efficiency measures, and the electrification of new sectors (e.g., transport and heating).
Current forecasts for Europe through 2030 indicate that gas demand is expected to remain largely stable, while electricity demand is likely to continue increasing.
Given this context, our strategy is to:
- Maintain a strong market position in Austria and further strengthen our presence in Germany and in the Netherlands. In addition, we are continuing to develop our multi-commodity platform for gas, power, and renewable energy, while strengthening our marketing and sales positions along the value chain of our own production assets.
- Increase natural gas volumes from Norway and Romania supplied to the European market and further optimize our LNG capacities.
- Support customers in Hungary, Romania and Türkiye through our sister companies.
- Diversified natural gas supplies, gas storage facilities, reliable transport routes, and long-term contracts provide energy security.
Operating in Europe’s major gas trading hubs, we are the reliable partner you can count on – in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond.

Gas is more...
Natural gas has lower emissions than other fossil fuels. It consists of more than 97% methane, with the remaining 3% made up of ethane, higher hydrocarbons, and nitrogen.
It is also a primary energy source, meaning that its energy can be used directly without the need for conversion.
However, gas is more than just a fossil fuel. Renewable gases such as biomethane, hydrogen, and synthetic methane can be produced from biomass, organic waste, or with the use of renewable energy. Depending on the production process, they can have lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventional alternatives.
Thanks to their versatility, renewable gases can be used flexibly for heating, power generation, and mobility applications. They can also leverage existing infrastructure for a wide range of energy uses.
Bio-LNG, liquefied biomethane, offers an additional advantage through its particularly high energy density. This makes it especially suitable for heavy-duty transport and maritime shipping, wherever low-emission alternatives are in high demand.
Here is a brief introduction to new gases.
Biogas and biomethane
Biogas is produced through the anaerobic digestion of biomass, such as organic waste or manure. It consists primarily of methane. When biogas is upgraded and purified, it becomes biomethane with a methane content of at least 96%.
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is produced from water or natural gas and is classified according to the production method used:
- Green Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water using electricity generated from renewable energy sources.
- Blue Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced from natural gas, where most of the CO2 generated during production is captured and stored.
- Turquoise Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced through methane pyrolysis, resulting in solid carbon as a by-product.
- Grey Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, with CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere.
Hydrogen in its pure form is gaseous. It can be stored in large quantities for long periods, and can be transported via the gas grid.
Synthetic gas
Synthetic methane is produced from hydrogen and CO2, for example CO2 captured from wastewater treatment plants. It can be stored and used in existing gas networks just like natural gas or biomethane, making it a convenient and flexible energy carrier. It can be stored and used in existing gas networks just like natural gas or biomethane.
