Energy Transition

ENTSOG facilitates gas grids’ constructive role in the energy transition, including the repurposing of the gas grids for the transport of renewable and low carbon gases. The necessary activities will be undertaken, as required by Directive (EU) 2024/1788 and Regulation (EU) 2024/1789 (Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Markets package). This legislation aims to decarbonise gas markets, promote hydrogen and biomethane integration in the gas infrastructure and reduce methane emissions.

ENTSOG will continue dialogue with relevant stakeholders from the hydrogen, electricity, CO2 and natural gas value chains, as well as storage and LNG system and ports operators, DSOs and hard-to-decarbonise off-takers, among others.

ENTSOG will continue to engage with stakeholders in the following fora:
