FNB Gas on the EU Grids Package

The European Commission wants to revise the legal framework for energy networks – an important step towards establishing an integrated European energy system. FNB Gas supports this initiative, but sees room for improvement in several areas in order to specifically accelerate the ramp-up of a European hydrogen infrastructure. Our statement contains concrete proposals on this.

Hydrogen infrastructures will enable long-distance transport of renewable and low-carbon energy from regions with high production potentials to centers of demand. It is therefore vital that an interconnected backbone system for the transport of hydrogen is developed in Europe in the near future and the required regulatory changes are addressed in the grid package.
