An increasingly urgent issue for the future of gas in Europe.
The Natural Gas Programme at OIES has now been publishing research on the challenges of decarbonisation for the gas industry for more than four years, and the topic is becoming ever more relevant. In particular, the EU continues to lead the way with its target for net zero emissions by 2050 and its creation of strategies to encourage all sectors in the economy to implement radical action to achieve this objective.
From a gas industry perspective, the latest strategic document concerns methane emissions, and its implications, as discussed by Jonathan Stern in this paper, are potentially very significant.
