On 21 March, Tobias Bühnen, GIE Policy Manager, spoke in the EASEE-gas GMoM panel discussion: 𝐹𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑦𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱? 🔹 The energy system of the future will be a smart mix of electrons and molecules—a necessary synergy to achieve the 2050 climate targets. Panelists emphasized that an integrated approach is key to a stable and sustainable transition. 🔹 Gas infrastructure remains a pillar of resilience and flexibility. Rather than being phased out, it will evolve to support the transition by integrating new energy carriers. 🔹 Hydrogen, CO₂, and biomethane will be incorporated into existing networks, unlocking the potential of gas infrastructure in a low-carbon economy. 🔹 Hydrogen and other renewable gases will enhance the electricity system, providing crucial flexibility and long-term storage to balance fluctuating renewable generation. 🔹 Molecular infrastructure will be indispensable in delivering clean, secure, and affordable energy to industries and households—remaining a key enabler of the energy transition.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to give insights on funding options for the CCUS value chain from an infrastructure perspective at the IOGP Europe CCS Multistakeholder Workshop. The #CCUS value chain is complex and will require a suite of funding options tailored to the needs of the segment of the value chain. From and infrastructure pov #CEF is a good tool, but is in need of adequate budget. #InnovationFund is another one, but we need next level industrialization supported as well and tailormade tools for capture sites for whom we discussed the merits of #CCfD schemes, potentially in the form of a European CCS Bank. This will enable projects to make a financial close and create transport demand visibility for CO2 transport operators. An anticipatory investment approach, including future demand, will be key in rightsizing the infrastructure investments. Thank you IOGP Europe and fellow panelists for this very interesting discussion, looking forward to continue it.

GIE’s latest position paper highlights the crucial role of gas storage in stabilizing energy markets, mitigating price volatility, and ensuring resilience in an increasingly unpredictable environment. 𝐾𝑒𝑦 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠: ✔️ A 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 to EU storage targets, alleviating strict interim filling deadlines. ✔️ 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 instead of rigid refilling deadlines to prevent speculation and protect storage value. ✔️ A 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 ensuring that gas supply contracts to final customers are backed by firm physical instruments, such as gas in storage. ✔️ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to all customers benefiting from security of supply, including SMEs, industries unable to switch to alternative fuels, gas-fired power plants, and district heating companies serving households. ✔️ The need for 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, as outlined in current EU legislation, to fully recognize the insurance and system value of gas storage. ✔️ 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 should be maintained, and generalized to ensure efficient allocation of gas storage. 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟? With rising demand, geopolitical shifts, and fluctuating renewables, gas storage is essential for stabilizing markets and ensuring energy security. However, market dynamics create a paradox—high winter withdrawals increase summer prices, yet this risk is often overlooked.
