Speakers
Pierre Duvieusart, Deputy CEO, NaTran (ex GRTgaz)
Lucie Boost, Secretary General, GIE
Nicola Rega, Executive Director Climate Change & Energy, Cefic
Speaker from the European Commission

 

 

This discussion focuses on how gas infrastructure assets, including pipelines and storage facilities, are prepared for the biomethane ramp-up and play a significant role in advancing the EU’s energy transition.

Our Associate Members GIE and GRTgaz will highlight how infrastructure contributes to the development of the biomethane market, aiming to energy resilience, security of supply, and affordable energy prices, all in alignment with the EU’s competitiveness and reindustrialization goals. The scale-up of biomethane will enhance domestic energy production by promoting the use of local resources.

Our speaker from Cefic will present complementary remarks on how biomethane is instrumental in decarbonizing various end-use sectors and achieving Europe’s climate targets in a cost-efficient way.

We look forward to this insightful exchange!
