The European Council and European Parliament have now formally adopted changes to the #GasDirective and #GasRegulation, establishing common EU rules on how methane and hydrogen markets should be organised. 🌟 During the legislative process, Frontier has been active in advising a range of clients on the potential options for reform and their potential impacts. We outline key changes to legislation and four studies, on which Frontier either led or played a major role for the Commission. ⚡ 📌 Click here to read the full article https://okt.to/N3yx06 #EuropeanUnion #EU #EnergyPolicy

A Finnish capacity mechanism – to promote the building of new power plants – is likely to be sent for parliamentary approval next year, said climate and environment minister Kai Mykkänen. Such a scheme could bring more stability to prices by encouraging investments in production technologies that could provide supply when there is no wind. Reporting by Verna Kuusniemi.

Since then, the EU’s legislators have passed the legislation and it is now awaiting publication in the EU Official Journal in the next few weeks and will enter into force 20 days later.”    https://lnkd.in/eSMZC7-A     #IndustrialDecarbonizationNetwork 

This week, I spoke to RT about the incoherence of the EU's current energy policy. I argued that, by increasing its reliance on LNG from the United States, the EU is undermining its economy, energy security and environment in one fell swoop. https://lnkd.in/e9dWw5mT

As the #EUParliament kicks off the EU commissioner hearings today, we’re questioning what positions commissioner-designates Jørgensen, Hoekstra, & Ribera could take on #fossilgas & if they’ll truly aim for a #just & #clean energy transition. Check out our blog here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDsqCi2v

The World Energy Council’s Insights tools are designed to best equip energy leaders to navigate the unprecedented challenges of modern energy systems.   The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE Sustainable Energy) recently held a dialogue on Carbon Neutrality and Scenario Building for the Republic of Moldova in collaboration with the World Energy Council.   Utilising the UNECE’s carbon neutrality toolkit and our World Energy Scenario Foundations, the event explored the various pathways and strategies the Republic of Moldova could embark upon to transition its energy systems towards carbon neutrality.   Thank you to the many participants of this important dialogue, including representatives from the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Moldova, the United Nations Resident Coordinator Office in the Republic of Moldova, the Institute of Power Engineering of the Technical University of Moldova, and UNECE. 👉 Find out more about our scenarios work here: https://lnkd.in/gT5dsMT4 #decarbonisation #energysystems #energytransition #worldenergyscenarios #carbonneutrality

🚀 The 2024 #InformalMinisterialCouncil meeting is underway in Banja Luka!

[#Replay] Watch again our last #Euroquestions "How to understand and support #citizen engagement in the EU #energy transition?" with Karin Thalberg Full presentation on #Energy_citizenship:

Yesterday, @Institute of Development Studies, we explored the topical issue of opposition and resistance to clean energy transition. We broadly focused on several themes including the increasing and uneven burden of the cost of investment in clean energy. My discussion focused on the effect of clean energy transition on those phasing out industries, largely drawing from my ongoing work in Africa. The event was recorded and if this is something of interest to you, here is the link to the discussion https://lnkd.in/exktNX4r

Here’s what’s new in the European Union: ✅ The European Commission authorizes Triton's acquisition of VWS; ☀️ Eurostat reports that solar energy overtook hard coal as an electricity source in 2022; 🌍 Statement by High Representative/Vice-President Borrell and Commissioner Lenarčič on 2024 World Humanitarian Day.
