It creates a new market and governance structure for hydrogen, requires oil and gas operators to find and fix methane leaks, and bans venting and flaring of greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s proposals are designed to make sure that the role of natural gas in our energy system declines and that greener options like renewables, hydrogen, biomass and biogas increase,&#8221; EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson told a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>But the gas industry gets a central role in deciding the future of the EU\u2019s energy infrastructure, raising concerns about locking in polluting systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis package was crucial to accelerate the transition towards a decarbonised energy system. Yet the Commission has ceded ground to industry polluters, giving them a chance to greenwash their fossil business and emissions,\u201d said Patrick ten Brink, director of EU policy at the European Environmental Bureau.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/12\/14\/eu-seeks-rival-chinas-infrastructure-offer-africans-sceptical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>As EU<\/strong> seeks to rival China\u2019s infrastructure offer, Africans are sceptical<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Commission\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/HTML\/?uri=CELEX:52020SC0176&amp;from=EN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">impact assessment<\/a> for cutting emissions this decade found that gas consumption should reduce 32-37% between 2015 and 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposal, gas network operators are being asked to include information about infrastructure that can be decommissioned or repurposed. But the plan doesn\u2019t include targets or milestones to end gas exploitation and downsize the infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Simson said the plan &#8220;ensures a progressive phase out of fossil gas&#8221; but didn&#8217;t respond to questions from reporters about how much the share of gas would be decreased this decade.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she said stranded gas assets will be avoided by ensuring that deployment plans are based on a joint demand scenario for electricity, gas and hydrogen. Long-term contracts to import gas into the EU will not be extended beyond 2049 \u2013 a year before the EU is due to reach net zero emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal still needs to be discussed and agreed by member states and the Parliament.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><label for=\"mce-EMAIL\">Want climate news in your inbox?

The European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen will promote a dedicated hydrogen infrastructure and the construction of cross-border networks. There are no plans to introduce independent checks or engage a broader range of stakeholders in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard to see how this hydrogen network is not going to be completely decided by gas operators because there are dominating the sector at the moment,\u201d said Hanoteaux.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe EU is lacking overall cohesion on gas. The package is suggesting gas is on its way out but will be replaced by low-carbon gases which is problematic because it means the EU will still use gas and gas infrastructure for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Campaigners say these governance structures enshrine gas into Europe\u2019s energy future, with the gas industry able to inflate the demand for hydrogen to justify the continued use of the fossil fuel to produce it.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal allows for blending up to 5% of hydrogen into the gas supply \u2013 a practice which Hanoteaux said wastes scarce hydrogen that should be used to help decarbonise the most hard-to-abate sectors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Under a proposed reform of the EU gas market, the industry gets to propose new gas and hydrogen
