A functioning gas market as well as the gas infrastructure will be instrumental to reach the mid- and long-term climate targets while preserving secure and affordable energy supply in Europe. This requires adequate framework conditions to facilitate the integration of renewable and de-carbonised gases and the market launch of power-to-gas (PtG) as a key technology for sector coupling. Renewable and decarbonised gases as well as PtG and other technologies play an important role to enable sector coupling as a clever interplay of the electricity and gas system.
