Accounting for approximately 55% of Europe’s gas consumption in 2021, the evaluated NECPs hold substantial influence over Europe’s energy transition trajectory.
Employing six meticulous benchmarks, E3G’s assessment gauges the alignment of these plans with the principles underpinning the European Green Deal and the objective of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
Key findings from the assessment underscore:
Substantial Reductions in Gas Consumption: Major gas-consuming nations are projected to reduce gas consumption by an average of 30% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, signalling a marked decline in gas usage. However, this trajectory falls short of the requirements outlined in the REPowerEU initiative to achieve climate neutrality.
