transforming the energy system towards renewable and climate-neutrality
While ACER and CEER have published their whitepaper on regulation of hydrogen networks just a view days ago, the series has just been complemented with the newly published whitepaper Regulatory Treatment of Power-to-Gas. With the aim is to deepen understanding on the regulatory aspects of Green Deal issues and to assist the European Commission in... Continue Reading →

There is already a concrete legislative proposal for a regulatory framework under discussion. Overall objective: Creation of a framework for a quick and legally secure, step-by-step realization of a... Continue Reading →
Replacing currently 340 TWh/y grey hydrogen in the EU with renewable or at least truly climate neutral hydrogen is the first major milestone on the journey. But this is just the start! According to a JRC study that investigated different EU deep decarbonization scenarios towards a a climate-neutral EU energy system 2050, there is a... Continue Reading →
The first major milestone on the way towards establishing hydrogen as cornerstone of a climate-neutral society will be the substitution of grey hydrogen, which is fossil-fuel based and curently used in industrial processes, with renewable or at least truly climate neutral hydrogen. The current EU hydrogen consumption amounts to close to 10 mega tons or, in energy... Continue Reading →
While the Austrian hydrogen strategy is still a long time coming, the German regulator BNetzA just recently executed on basis of the German hydrogen strategy already a public consultation regarding regulatory questions. Central aspects in my view: Blending of hydrogen into the gas network: potentially an interim solution (10-20%); but the target model are pure... Continue Reading →
