Gas for Climate is expanding and supports the European Green Deal
Release date: 12 December 2019 Gas for Climate welcomes the EU’s increased ambition to fight climate change Consortium now designing pathways to scale-up renewable gas towards 2050 ONTRAS and Energinet have joined the Gas for Climate consortium Gas for Climate, the future oriented gas sector initiative that supports full decarbonisation of the energy system by…
Scaling up renewable gas production in Europe will create at least 600,000 direct jobs by 2050
Report published today shows that scaling up renewable gases can create 1.7 million to 2.4 million jobs by 2050, of which 600,000 to 850,000 direct jobs Employment opportunities result from investments in biomethane and hydrogen production facilities and include many rural jobs and high-skilled positions Most of these jobs are stable European jobs that cannot be…
Role of the existing gas infrastructure in the future energy system
On 28 November 2018 the Commission published the European vision on how to achieve a climate neutral economy by 2050. Gas for Climate is encouraged to see that the EU Commission shares many findings with the consortium, including the increasing role for hydrogen and biomethane in buildings, industry and heavy transport as well as the…
The Gas for Climate consortium presented its vision on the role of renewable and low-carbon gas in the future decarbonised energy system at COP24 in Katowice, Poland. The main aim of this edition of the annual UN climate conference is ensuring the full implementation of the Paris Agreement to limit global temperature increase to well…
Release date: 27 September 2018 At an event organised by the Gas for Climate consortium in Brussels, European Commissioner for Climate & Energy, Miguel Arias Cañete highlighted last night that gas and existing gas infrastructure will play an important role in the future EU energy system Action Plan Gas for Climate presents measures for large…
