natural gas is essential to our future energy mix, and already makes a
significant contribution to the security of our energy supply. natural gas
has a range of benefits: it is kinder on the environment than other fossil
fuels, and it is important for heat supply and electricity generation. even
if there are rapid developments in regenerative technologies such as
wind, solar, and biogas, it will not be possible to meet energy demands
without the help of natural gas in the foreseeable future. With its high
efficiency, eco-friendliness, and flexibility, natural gas is the ideal part-
ner to renewable energies.

At GAZPROM Germania, we invest in and apply our expertise towards
ensuring that natural gas plays a key role in the restructuring of our
energy supply.

Germany is our most important european market, and we stand by it as
a reliable partner. As a German company with Russian roots, we put all
our energy into continuing the success story that is the energy partner-
ship between Germany and Russia.

GAZPROM Germania

Today, the GAZPROM Germania Group comprises around 40 companies in more than 20 countries in Europe,
Asia, and North America. GAZPROM Germania is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazprom export, a company
of the Moscow-based GAZPROM Group. The GAZPROM Group is the world’s largest natural gas producer,
and its core business activities include the exploration, production, processing, transportation, and trading of
natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and gas condensate.

Our market

Germany has traditionally been our most important European market. Over 200 of GAZPROM Germania’s
1,200 employees work on natural gas storage, natural gas trading, and natural gas for transport at our Berlin
headquarters. GAZPROM exports around 40 billion cubic metres of natural gas a year to its customers in
­Germany – around half of German consumption – a figure testament to the significance of GAZPROM’s role
 as a reliable natural gas supplier to Germany.

—
Our contribution

To meet growing demand, GAZPROM Germania continuously invests in expanding transport routes and under-
ground storage facilities – two important components of modern energy infrastructure – via its subsidiaries
and investees.

Our partners

GAZPROM invests in expanding the infrastructure required to meet continuously growing demand. With that
infrastructure, we transport natural gas thousands of kilometres from Russia’s reserves to German consum-
ers. Hand in hand with our international partners, we have realized projects such as the Nord Stream pipeline
in the Baltic Sea, the world’s longest underwater pipeline. Nord Stream transports up to 55 billion cubic metres
of natural gas from Russia to Europe annually – enough to supply 26 million households. And by increasing its
shareholding in natural gas trading and storage company WINGAS, GAZPROM has made a greater commit-
ment to the German market and to providing Europe with a reliable supply of energy.

Our social commitment

But GAZPROM Germania’s mission goes far beyond providing a reliable supply of natural gas. As a German
company with Russian roots, we see ourselves as a bridge between Germany and Russia. ­GAZPROM Germania
promotes intercultural dialogue with a variety of projects and initiatives, and works to bring people together
through social sponsorship and sports sponsorship focusing on Bundesliga football team FC Schalke 04.

     THE FASCINATION
     OF NATURAL GAS
     —
     Natural gas is increasingly popular as a source of
     energy for heating, and cooking, and as a fuel for
     road transport – and unsurprisingly so, as it is
     the cleanest of all fossil fuels, highly economical,
     exceptionally versatile, and is likely to be available
     for a long time to come.
     —
     There aren’t many energy sources that better strike the balance between
     reliability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. Natural gas is the
     perfect complement to a variety of innovative technologies. It reduces
     CO2 ­emissions and can be distributed to households quickly and safely.

                                                        The German federal government has committed to reducing

Sports sponsorship

We’re just as proud of our sponsorship of Bundesliga football club FC Schalke 04 of Gelsenkirchen. We’ve
shared some great football moments and many successes since commencing our partnership with Schalke
in 2007. But we go beyond just supporting the eleven players on the pitch to working with the club off the
field against social exclusion and for fair play and team spirit.

For example, we pay tribute to those who do volunteer work in the community with the “Weil Du es verdient
hast!” initiative. We also support Straßenkinder e.V., a charitable organization in Berlin, in cooperation with
Christoph Metzelder Stiftung, a foundation run by former German national football side player Christoph
Metzelder.

As the main sponsor of FC Schalke 04, we are also in close contact with fans. We hold benefit matches in
support of anti-violence programmes and make it known that violence has no place in stadiums. We also
hold the GAZPROM Fan Cup, Germany’s largest small-pitch amateur football tournament.

attraction. Our Europa-Park installations provide the around four million annual park visitors a combination
of information and interactive entertainment and give visitors insights into the world natural gas that cover
its production, its transport, and its diverse range of applications.

In the education arena, GAZPROM Germania has been main sponsor of the Bundescup “Spielend Russisch
