Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) would like to stress that currently, the EED, like the other elements of the Clean Energy for All package, are inconsistent with the ambition of the Paris Agreement, as action in the next 10 years will be decisive in reaching the 1.5°C objective. We fully support the initiative to revise the EED and stresses that the ambition level needs to increase significantly.

Synergrid is the Belgian association representing all Belgian TSOs and DSOs (electricity and gas). In our response we are focussing mainly on article 25 about energy transformation, transmission and distribution in the recast EED. Synergrid can comfortably state that energy efficiency runs already for many years through the ‘veins’ of its member companies.

Strengthening of the Energy Efficiency Directive DUH is calling for the adoption of a binding energy efficiency target of at least 45 % in the year 2030 (compared to the EU Reference Scenario 2007 or of at least 20 % in 2030 compared to the EU reference scenario 2020). This will help to achieve the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement, improve the energy security of the EU, create jobs, and reduce pollution.

Deutsche Umwelthilfe / Environmental Action Germany welcomes the opportunity to comment on the initiative at this stage. This legislation is essential in leveling the playing field between natural gas, hydrogen, other gases and renewable electricity. Natural gas currently enjoys significant regulatory advantages. While green hydrogen, renewable electricity etc.

Synergrid is focusing in its response mainly on the: • Directive on common rules for the internal markets in renewable and natural gases and in hydrogen. • Regulation on the internal markets for renewable and natural gases and for hydrogen. Our paper and response starts with a general position on the proposed EU legislation, followed by the main attention points in the new proposed legislation.

Deutsche Umwelthilfe / Environmental Action Germany (DUH) welcomes the opportunity to consult on the gas market directive and regulation. In general, we are not pleased with the roles that low-carbon gases and green hydrogen are given with this reform. The broad allocation of hydrogen across many sectors is critical.

Deutsche Umwelthilfe / Environmental Action Germany welcomes the opportunity to comment on the initiative at this stage. Regulating methane emissions in the oil, gas and coal sectors is indeed a powerful tool and necessary in mitigating GHG emissions and meeting climate targets.

Synergrid, Association representing the Belgian gas TSO Fluxys and DSO’s Fluvius, Ores, Resa and Sibelga welcomes the possibility to provide feedback to this public consultation and acknowledge the efforts of the EC to accelerate methane emissions reduction to support the EU’s climate ambition for 2030 and its 2050 climate neutrality objective.

Synergrid is focusing in its response on the: • Regulation on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector. Our paper and response starts with a general position on the proposed EU legislation, followed by the main attention points in the new proposed legislation. Amended text proposals can be found in the Annex I (still in elaboration). Paper in attachment.

Environmental Action Germany (DUH e.V.) welcomes the Methane Regulation proposal as it will for the first time impose binding rules regarding methane leakage on operators of energy infrastructure within the EU. Particularly positive are the new provisions on Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of methane emissions, regular inspections by regulatory agencies, as well as the requirement of quarterly Leak…
