Promoting the development of renewable gases (biomethane and hydrogen) market is part of the Ukraine’s GTS Operator’s updated strategy. It is namely the gas transmission system that can give an impetus to that industry’s development, as it can connect producers and consumers situated in different locations of our country or beyond, Kateryna Kovalenko, head of the GTSOU’s Strategy Division, emphasized during her speech at the First Ukrainian Biomethane Forum.   “Ukraine’s GTS is linked with four EU countries, which provides Ukrainian producers with an opportunity to export biomethane to Europe. In the difficult circumstances that biomethane producers currently face in Ukraine, export is next to the only business opportunity for the industry’s development,” Kateryna Kovalenko said.   She recalled the changes made to the Code of the GTS and approved by the NEURC in 2023, according to which connection of biomethane plants to the GTS via the gas distribution networks became possible. These changes give small producers access to the GTS, as well as allow for cooperation between producers and shorten the distance to a possible connection point.   “We are seeing a gradual revival on the biomethane market. Since the start of the year, two biomethane plants have already received technical conditions for connection to the gas transmission system. Apart from that, the first transportation contract with a biomethane producer has already been signed,” Kateryna Kovalenko said.

An interesting report that sums up very well the European Hydrogen Market Landscape, a full overview of the hydrogen market and the deployment of clean hydrogen technologies.

Electricity grids form the foundation for clean energy transition and a well-functioning modern society. It is important that the regulatory framework supports cost-efficient anticipatory investments in electricity network as well as the development and utilization of flexibility. It is great to see that there are actions on EU level to resolve this challenge.

👏 Together with around 100 companies and, 23 EU Energy Ministers, I was pleased to sign the #EUSolarCharter as a commitment to support European solar☀ manufacturers.   A special thanks to EU Commissioner Kadri Simson and Minister Tinne Van der Straeten for making this signing happen. The signing is an important moment of recognition. Governments, and the solar sector, have made a high-level promise to European solar manufacturers, acknowledging their critical role in the strategic supply chains⛓ of today and tomorrow.   While at the signing, I took the opportunity to continue to urge rapid action and concrete support measures at the national and EU level.   This means: 👨‍⚖️ Rolling out resilience criteria in public procurement & auctions as soon as possible 🔓 Unlocking subsidy support 💶 Establishing dedicated EU financing for solar – like the EU Solar Manufacturing Facility   The #EUSolarCharter is one chapter in Europe's solar story. Delivering accelerated solar deployment growth is key to ensuring a market for European solar manufacturers – it is important that Ministers also took the opportunity today to discuss Europe’s energy infrastructure and supporting the flexibility of our grid. As we build a solar-led future, policymakers and industry must continue the conversation.

The recently announced Cross Border Electricity Sales via the Energy Exchange.... we need to codify "the fairness, equity, inclusiveness and competitiveness". Who determines how much profit the Energy Exchange shall make as the intermediary? Will it be a race to the bottom for the RE producers again?

We are witnessing the de-industrialization of Germany due to failed energy policy, not to mention the bankrupting of a nation simultaneously…look at those subsidies. Great post Staffan Reveman #energypolicy #wishfulthinking #unreliable
