Green Gas Initiative: La valeur de l’infrastructure gazière pour une neutralité climatique en Europe
Conférence de presse - 21 May 2019
La Green Gas Initiative (GGI) qui regroupe sept entreprises gazières indépendantes en Europe, dont Gaznat en Suisse, a mandaté Frontier Economics, cabinet de conseil indépendant, pour mener une étude approfondie sur la valeur et le rôle que l’infrastructure gazière pourrait jouer dans la décarbonisation en Europe.
Cette analyse repose, notamment, sur l’engagement des entreprises membres du GGI de transporter dans ses infrastructures du gaz 100% neutre d’ici à 2050.
L'étude compare différents scénarios énergétiques pour le futur dans un contexte de décarbonisation progressive de l’approvisionnement énergétique en Europe et en Suisse. Elle souligne l’importance du rôle du couplage de secteur en combinant les avantages des infrastructures électriques et gazières.
