ANNOUNCEMENT: Eurogas has elected Michael Lewis as its new Vice President.   Mr Lewis is currently the Chief Executive Officer at Uniper, whose core business areas are power generation, global energy trading, and a broad gas portfolio that includes hydrogen. Formed in 2016, Uniper has been a Eurogas member for eight years, and was involved for many years prior to that in the form of its predecessor companies. Mr Lewis in particular has served on our Governing Board since 2023.   Having worked in the energy industry since 1993, Mr Lewis held previous positions as CEO of E.ON UK and CEO/COO of E.ON Climate & Renewables. He is also Council Member of the Natural Environment Research Council and a Non-Executive Director of United Utilities.   We welcome Mr Lewis' vast experience at the forefront of the energy transition and look forward to this next step in our lasting collaboration with Uniper."

🔵 The European Parliament's election of Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs took place this week, meaning MEPs from ITRE, ENVI, TRAN, and AGRI will soon be stepping into their roles. 🤝 Eurogas welcomes this finalisation of the Parliament's structure for the new mandate. We are committed to supporting this and other European Institutions during the legislative process, and look forward to collaborating with policymakers to advance the dialogue around #gaseousfuels in Europe. 👏 As such, we congratulate, in particular: ▪ Borys Budka, Chair of the #ITRE Committee ▪ Antonio Decaro, Chair of the #ENVI Committee ▪ Elissavet Vozemberg-Vrionidi, Chair of the #TRAN Committee ▪ Veronika Vrecionova, Chair of the #AGRI Committee For more information on Eurogas and our work, check out our website ➡ https://www.eurogas.org/

Eurogas welcomes the publishing of President Ursula von der Leyen's 'Political Guidelines for the Next European Commission.' 🎯 It is important that we continue making progress towards our climate ambitions. Renewable and low-carbon fuels, and their derivatives, have a crucial and increasing role to play in future #energymix, alongside other decarbonisation technologies such as CCUS. These technologies will indeed require repurposing and deploying sufficient infrastructure. 👷♂️ Investments in strategic, emission-reducing solutions contribute to the competitiveness of the European #industry, which was heavily impacted by the energy crisis. A Clean Industrial Deal would support industry during the energy transition and develop quality European jobs in the sector. 🗺 Deploying emissions-reducing #technologies and ensuring #competitiveness also requires ensuring the simplification of legal frameworks so industry and third-country partners can contribute to the green legislative agenda. ⚖ Beyond simplification, Europe needs to enshrine the concept of #technologyneutrality in the development and implementation of its legislative framework. In particular, this concept should be present when discussing the various sources of hydrogen and support for all renewable fuels in transport. 🔎 At the same time, the EU must learn lessons from the energy crisis: while institutions have been quick to act during the peak of the crisis, the EU should now reduce exposure to changes in energy price, and properly discuss #SecurityOfSupply in the mid- to long-term. 🤝 We look forward to continuing the conversation with this next Commission in order to fulfil the potential of #gaseousfuels and their derivatives in decarbonising Europe's energy sector. #energytransition #greendeal #renewablegases #renewable #lowcarbon #rlc #europeanelections #commission #hydrogen #biomethane

📣 Eurogas is an Association Partner for the upcoming Carbon Capture Global Summit 2024 on 3-4 September in London. 🔎 This premier event is an opportunity to discuss the way forward for promoting CCUS technologies with policymakers, industry leaders, and investors. Including these solutions in our strategies will be necessary for achieving our net-zero goals in the future, and we look forward to advancing the conversation at this summit.

📣 Eurogas has been named a finalist in the #AssociationExcellence Awards 2024 for the category of 'Best New Event by an Association' for our Renewable Gas Conference 2023! We were pleased and humbled by the significant turnout for that first edition of the conference. From the insightful presentations by policymakers, industry leaders and experts in the field, to the avid participation from the audience, we were able to really put #biomethane and #hydrogen in the spotlight. We were also able to use that momentum to hold a second edition of the conference in 2024, which brought out just as many insights, and turned the Renewable Gas Conference (and Barbecue) into a summer staple! 🙏 Eurogas extends its thanks to all those who made that first edition noteworthy, in particular our Events Team whose year-round planning made it all possible. Thanks as well to GCN Events for naming us as finalists. We look forward to the results in November!

📣 Eurogas has joined the Zero Emissions Platform! 💡 ZEP acts as an advisor to the European Union on the deployment of #CCS and #CCU, intent on creating the conditions necessary to reach net-zero GHG emissions in Europe by 2050 by accelerating the deployment of large-scale CO2 transport and storage networks. 🔎 Joining ZEP is an important development for Eurogas. We support the 2050 net-zero goal, and advocate for the uptake of #carboncapture as one of the crucial solution that will help us get there. 🤝 We look forward to coordinating with other stakeholders to progress towards these objectives and decarbonise the European gas industry.

MEMBER HIGHLIGHTS | Glavbolgarstroy Holding begins work on the Vertical Gas Corridor. This will connect the Southern Gas Corridor up through Bulgaria towards Ukraine and Central Europe. This will ensure an increase in the capacity for gas transmission along this route, and contributes to the continent's #diversification and #securityofsupply.

📣 Eurogas co-organised a second workshop with the European Commission on the #UnionDatabase last week in collaboration with other associations in the Prime Movers Group on guarantees of origin. 🔦 This initiative aims to enhance the European market for #renewable and #lowcarbon energy and ensure cross-border transferability. During these sessions, the group has developed recommendations for bio-LNG liquefaction and to enable the extra-EU imports of biomethane and biomethane-based fuels. All organisations benefited from the open collaboration with DG ENER and look forward to continuing to move the conversation forward.
