The EU's path away from fossil gas
Due to its climate goals and the rising gas prices caused by the war in Ukraine, it is time for the EU to break away from fossil gas. With the REPowerEU plan, the EU has created a first basis for breaking away from fossil gas. In a study at the end of May, Agora Energiewende proposed a structural transition path that shows the way away from the use of fossil gases by 2050. The study is based on detailed sectoral modelling of the energy, building and industry sectors, on which TEP worked together with Artelys and the Wuppertal Institute.
