- Gas rationing may not be necessary this winter if European industries succeed to rein in their fossil gas usage and quickly find ways of ramping up electrification.
- A new report by consultancy CLIMACT, published on 10 October, finds multiple possibilities for rapid electrification in the food, chemical, and glass industries that could reduce gas usage.
- Asides from gas reduction plans, “there are also other proposals such as increasing the targets for renewables production within the EU and speeding up the permitting process for renewables to produce the electricity that heat pumps can use for industry”.
