57 CEOs and associations representing the European gas sector sent a letter on 19 October calling on the EU institutions to ensure that EU financial mechanisms recognize gas as an indispensable part of the energy transition towards a carbon neutral economy in 2050.
“Gas remains crucial in facilitating the integration of renewable and decarbonised energy and lowering the overall societal cost of the energy transition. Efforts supporting and facilitating the decarbonisation of the whole gas value chain should therefore be considered as environmentally sustainable investments by the upcoming delegated act introducing technical criteria on climate mitigation under the EU Taxonomy regulation,” says a news release from signatory association NGVA Europe.
