Falling European gas demand underlines structural changes in the power generation market

European gas demand is structurally declining as rapid growth in renewables reshapes the region’s power generation mix. European gas demand is increasingly displaced by solar and wind, which are meeting most new electricity demand and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This shift highlights a long-term transformation in Europe’s energy system. European gas demand is undergoing a structural decline as renewable […]

Hydrogen infrastructure in sector coupling strengthens Europe’s energy resilience

Hydrogen infrastructure is central to sector coupling in Europe’s future energy system, according to this GIE-commissioned study. The report finds that hydrogen infrastructure, together with storage and cross-border networks, can improve flexibility, support security of supply and reduce pressure on electricity interconnectors as Europe moves toward climate neutrality. Hydrogen infrastructure is emerging as a strategic pillar of Europe’s decarbonised energy […]
