Liquid Gas Europe

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commissions Call for Evidence on the review of the EU Taxonomy Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts. This review is timely, as the implementation of the Taxonomy has highlighted challenges related to complexity, usability, and consistency with existing EU legislation, particularly regarding technical screening criteria (TSC) and Do No…

LGE appreciates the opportunity to contribute to this Call for Evidence. Please also see our attached document for further details. Decarbonising heating remains one of the most complex challenges of the European energy transition. While electrification will play a major role in reducing emissions in the building sector, it is not always technically feasible, cost-effective, or rapidly deployable in all regions.

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE) welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commissions Call for Evidence on the review of the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act. This review provides an important opportunity to improve the coherence and effectiveness of the Taxonomy framework, ensuring that it better reflects real-world decarbonisation pathways and aligns with existing EU climate and energy legislation.

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE) represents the distributors of LPG and renewable liquid gases, as well as equipment manufacturers in Europe. LGE supports the objective of ensuring an effective and predictable carbon pricing framework that prevents carbon leakage while preserving fair competition, proportionality and the circular use of long-life industrial assets.

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE), representing the producers, distributors and manufacturers of LPG, bioLPG and renewable dimethyl ether (rDME), welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the EU Heating and Cooling Strategy. Heating and cooling represent roughly half of the EUs energy consumption, with 70% still derived from fossil fuels.

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE), the representative body for the European liquid gas sectorincluding both conventional and renewable gases such as LPG, bioLPG, and renewable DMEwelcomes the European Commission's revision of the Standardisation Regulation.

Liquid gas Europe welcomes the European Commissions consultation on revising the greenhouse-gas (GHG) accounting methodology and default/typical values in Annexes V and VI of the Renewable Energy Directive, which will directly shape how biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels are recognised across EU markets.

Liquid Gas Europe welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the European Commissions Call for Evidence on the future Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) framework. Please find attached our full submission, which provides detailed evidence and national examples supporting the points summarised below.

The EUs post-2030 climate framework must ensure effective technology neutrality in practice, enabling all solutions delivering verified emissions reductions to contribute across Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) sectors, including in rural and off-gas-grid areas where viable and cost-effective decarbonisation pathways are essential.

Achieving climate neutrality by 2050 will require leveraging all available solutions: in particular, LGE emphasizes the vital contribution of renewable liquid gases (rLGs) such as bioLPG (biopropane) and renewable dimethyl ether (rDME) to delivering decarbonised, affordable heating for Europes citizens, especially in rural and off-grid areas.

Liquid Gas Europe (LGE) underlines the role of renewable liquid gases (rLGs)notably bioLPG (biopropane) and renewable DMEas drop-in solutions that can deliver decarbonised, affordable energy for households, especially in rural and off-grid areas.
