Europe must deliver decarbonisation at a rate three times faster than what has been achieved to date if it is to achieve its ambition of net zero emissions by 2050, a new report showed.
CERRE’s new report on “Electricity and gas coupling in a decarbonised economy” released ahead of the European Commission’s Fit for 55 Package, unveils the outcomes of a unique state-of-the-art energy system optimisation model, providing four different scenarios to achieve net zero emissions in 2050. It also provides a comprehensive list of regulatory and policy recommendations to sustain an emerging sector coupling framework at both national and EU levels.
