• Study published today finds that a smart combination of hydrogen and biomethane with electricity is the optimal way to decarbonise the energy system, with all energy ultimately becoming renewable.
• Using around 2900 TWh or approximately 270 billion cubic metres (natural gas equivalent) of green hydrogen and renewable methane through existing gas infrastructure across the EU saves society €217 billion annually by 2050 compared to an energy system using a minimal amount of gas.
• Substantial hydrogen, biomethane and power to methane production cost reductions are possible.
On 7 May 2019, CREG approved Transmission tariffs for period 2020 – 2023.
