The European Union proposed a set of measures designed to ensure the use of green energy sources and boost natural gas supply security in the bloc’s shift away from fossil fuels.
The Commission unveiled Wednesday the planned revision of its gas market law to ensure the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases, such as biomethane and hydrogen. The package is a key step in implementing the European Green Deal, a sweeping strategy to accelerate pollution cuts by 2030 and eliminate net greenhouse-gas emissions by the middle of the century.
