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.

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. In this context, the EU Energy Taxation Directive (ETD) can be an effective, market-based instrument to give appropriate price signals to energy consumers and thus achieve a targeted change in consumption patterns in line with climate…

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.
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.
