What they argued

Energy Efficiency Directivefiled 17 Nov 2021PDFsource

The FGW is committed to ensuring that the efficient use of energy is of the utmost importance with the increasing share of renewable energy sources. However, energy efficiency should not only be seen as an absolute savings target, but should also take into account, for example, the increased need for flexibility due to an increasing share of renewable energy.

Energy Efficiency Directivefiled 21 Sept 2020source

The important issues of energy efficiency and the development of renewable energies must, in principle, be considered separately. The ‘energy efficiency first’ principle must not overstretch the energy efficiency targets in order to achieve the climate objectives.

Revision of the Energy Tax Directivefiled 17 Nov 2021PDFsource

The Austrian gas and district heating industry supports the objective of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and sees the period up to 2030 as an important intermediate step.

CO2 emission standards for cars and vansfiled 26 Nov 2020source

The recent publication of the 2030 Climate Plan by the European Commission increased the overall GHG emissions reduction target for 2030 from -40% up to -55% (vs 1990 level). The long-term reduction goal for 2050 remains unchanged, but the new plan asks for an acceleration across multiple sectors in the next decade.

Methane emissions reduction in the energy sectorfiled 25 Jan 2021PDFsource

The Austrian gas industry has been making a significant contribution to methane emission reduction for decades. In principle, a uniform "monitoring and reporting" system is positively recognized. However, it must be ensured that no blanket measures are taken, e.g. a general reduction of methane emissions by a fixed percentage without taking the initial situation into account.
