With the ambitious EU decarbonisation targets to 2050 arise many questions about the future of gas. The importance of renewable gases such as bio-methane, hydrogen, and synthetic gas is expected to grow in the ;

In light of this, CERRE will present the results and policy recommendations of its new report ‘Future markets for renewable gases & hydrogen: What would be the optimal regulatory provisions?’

This new report is designed to provide a significant contribution to the upcoming gas package which the European Commission is due to publish towards late 2019-early 2020.

This project analyses the current status and potential development of renewable gases. It also gives clear recommendations on what would be the optimal regulatory provisions for well-functioning European markets, in particular for the production, transmission and storage of the molecules and the integration of energy systems (electricity, gas, heat).
