Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE)

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) welcomes the ECs proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) and supports strengthening Europes industrial competitiveness while decarbonising. The proposal rightly recognises that long permitting timelines, insufficient investment certainty and fragmented market conditions continue to delay final investment decisions in strategic sectors.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating storage facilities, transmission pipelines and LNG terminals, welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to review the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive. In the context of this draft revision and to facilitate the deployment of renewable energy, please find GIE's feedback and considerations attached.

The recently released European Commission’s Hydrogen and Energy System Integration strategies have confirmed the essential role of renewable and low-carbon gases in reaching a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. To speed up the transition towards these gases, an appropriate regulatory framework is needed.

GIE welcomes the European Commissions initiative to review and update the Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts of the EU Taxonomy. This revision is an important opportunity to improve the clarity, usability, and coherence of the TSC, and to ensure full alignment with the EUs evolving climate, industrial, and carbon management policies.

GIE supports the EU climate neutrality by 2050 and the EU Green Deal. GIE recognizes the Climate Law as an essential step to more predictability for industry and investors and for a fair, just and effective energy transition. A clear governance and roadmap at all levels are keys to ensure that nobody is left behind.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating storage facilities, transmission pipelines and LNG terminals, welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to revise the EU Energy Efficiency Directive and adapt it to the EU’s target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030, compared to 1990.

Gas Infrastructure Europe represents the European gas transmission operators, gas storage facilities and LNG terminals. Our response is based on responding to the aim: “This initiative aims to address the current low decarbonisation and renovation rates across the EU as well as provide a framework for renovation to play a key role in supporting a green and digital recovery.” Please see our complete views in the file…

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating storage facilities, transmission pipelines and LNG terminals, welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to revise the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS).

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), an association representing the interests of European gas infrastructure operators, welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing public consultations on the revision of the Delegated Regulations amending the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act and acknowledges the EU Commissions efforts to enhance the frameworks usability and effectiveness.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating transmission pipelines, storage facilities and LNG terminals, shares the European Commission’s (EC) objectives of improving the gas market framework and to decarbonise the gas system.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) welcomes the European Commission's initiative to give feedback to the roadmap on Gas networks - revision rules on market access. We appreciate the opportunity to submit our views and opinions in the document attached. We are looking forward to continuing the discussion with the European Commission.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) represents more than 70 operators of natural gas and hydrogen transmission pipelines, storages and terminal infrastructures. Our members invest in infrastructure to transport and store natural gas, including biomethane and synthetic methane, hydrogen and CO2.

GIE welcomes EU’s ambition for low-emission, climate-neutral transport sector. Already today, LNG as a fuel can meet EU’s climate and air quality targets and lays the ground for carbon neutral liquified biomethane (LBM) and liquified synthetic methane (LSM) with very limited additional infrastructure investment.

GIE, as EU association representing the interests of gas infrastructure operators active in transmission, storage and LNG regasification with assets and skills enabling also CCUS developments, welcomes this initiative and would like to provide the following recommendations: Access to affordable Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) will be indispensable to allow EU industry to achieve European climate…

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) welcomes the European Commission’s (EC) proposal for the revision of the TEN-E regulation and the inclusion of renewable and low-carbon gas infrastructure projects in the revised TEN-E. We believe that the EC’s approach should be effectively geared towards technology-neutrality and a full life cycle analysis of all sources and vectors of energy.

Gas Infrastructure Europe welcomes the initiative of the European Commission, which aims to identify reporting requirements in EU legislation that can be removed or rationalised without undermining the policy objectives of the European Union. GIE, as the voice of the gas infrastructure operators of Europe, would like to emphasise the importance of rationalising such burdens.

ENTSOG, Eurogas, GERG, GIE, MARCOGAZ welcome the EC’s Proposal for a Regulation on methane emissions reduction in the energy sector. Our members are committed to pursuing and intensifying their contribution to reducing emissions. We support the deployment of an appropriate and efficient roadmap.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing over 70 operators of natural gas, hydrogen, storage, and LNG terminal infrastructures, welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the consultation on revising biofuel, bioliquid and biomass fuel pathway values and methodology under RED III.

GIE welcomes the Commissions (EC) proposal to fine-tune the existing electricity market design (EMD), as it must be fit for a net zero future and support the accelerated integration of renewables in a cost-efficient way. To this end, GIE sees great potential in energy system integration. However, this potential is not sufficiently exploited in the proposal.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating storage facilities, transmission pipelines and LNG terminals, welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to encourage the use of low-carbon fuels in the maritime sector. In the context of the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, please find GIE's feedback and considerations attached.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating transmission pipelines, storage facilities and LNG terminals, shares the European Commission’s (EC) objectives of improving the gas market framework and to decarbonise the gas system.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) has consistently supported transparency in energy markets, not only through regulatory compliance but also by leading voluntary initiatives such as AGSI and ALSI. These platforms have become trusted tools for market participants and institutions, reinforcing GIEs commitment to open and reliable data. We strongly believe that transparency must be both effective and proportionate.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), representing almost 70 European companies operating transmission pipelines, storage facilities and LNG terminals, shares the European Commission’s (EC) objectives of achieving climate-neutrality by 2050. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the urgent need for security and diversification of supply has become even more pressing.

Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE) shares the EC’s objectives of fostering energy security while transitioning towards a carbon-neutral economy. Since 2017, GIE has carried out several studies and developed the knowledge to allow SSOs to offer market-based services, guarantee system optimization and ensure the security of supply.
