New Gas for Climate policy paper calls for a binding target for 11% renawable gas by 2030
Gas for Climate advocates in new policy paper, that by 2030, 11% of all gas consumed in the EU should be renewable gas.
The envisioned binding target is supported by two sub-targets for 8% sustainable biomethane and 3% renewable hydrogen. The target should be introduced in the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Gas for Climate continues to support EU policy making in 2021 by providing new analysis on hydrogen and biomethane.
Today, the Gas for Climate consortium published a policy paper which provides an analysis-based rationale on why an 11% renewable gas target is needed to meet the EU's climate ambition to cut GHG emissions by 55% in 2030. The policy paper follows last year’s Gas for Climate Gas Decarbonisation Pathways 2020-2050 report, which showed how additional policy measures are needed to scale-up biomethane, green and blue hydrogen which are all needed to meet the EU’s climate targets. This policy paper focuses on biomethane and green hydrogen, acknowledging they require additional incentives compared to the incentives required to scale-up blue hydrogen.
