Recommendations on Certification of Renewable and Low-Carbon Hydrogen
Power-to-gas and power-to-liquid technologies are a key enabler of sector integration. The upcoming revision of the ‘Gas Package’ presents a unique opportunity for the EU to clarify the regulatory framework applicable to PtG and PtL facilities and to create a supportive environment for the development and deployment of these technologies. In this light EASE has prepared some key recommendations for the certification of hydrogen produced through power-to-gas.
Open Letter Addressing Energy Storage in the National Energy and Climate Plans
Developing a clear strategy to support the development and deployment of storage technologies is essential in order for Member States to achieve their decarbonisation targets for 2030 and beyond. EASE would like to support the drafting of ambitious yet achievable plans that can have a true impact on the energy sector.
Maximising Social Welfare of Energy Storage Facilities through Multi-Service Business Cases
EASE published a position paper explaining the multi-service business case approach whereby multiple stakeholders are together involved in the ownership, development, management, and/or operation of an energy storage facility in order to maximise its social welfare by fully deploying all services storage can deliver.
European Investment Bank’s Energy Lending Policy
EASE submitted a response to the European Investment Bank’s Public Consultation on the EIB Energy Lending Policy. The consultation examines how future EIB backed investment can reduce energy consumption through energy efficiency, better support renewable power generation, improve financial and advisory backing for energy innovation and secure infrastructure essential for energy transition.
Energy Storage: A Key Enabler for the Decarbonisation of the Transport Sector
EASE published a position paper explaining the crucial role of stationary energy storage in enabling a rapid and effective transition to a decarbonised transport sector. It calls on policymakers and other stakeholders to address the barriers that hamper the uptake of storage and to enable relevant use cases.
European Commission's Delegated Regulation Establishing the Innovation Fund
EASE submitted a response to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the "European Commission's Delegated Regulation establishing the Innovation Fund". Given the importance of the funding that could be available to energy storage projects in the future, EASE drafted a reply to the public consultation.
Strategy for Long-Term EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions
EASE submitted a response to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the Strategy for Long-Term EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions. Our members are fully supportive of the EU’s efforts to achieve a low-carbon economy, and we support ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.
