The EU’s energy sector is profoundly changing. The forthcoming agreement on the “Clean Energy for all Europeans package” will cement the EU’s commitments under the Paris Agreement and substantially decrease the energy sector’s greenhouse gas emissions, bolstering the sector’s potential to become nearly emission-free by 2050.

The proposal is also leading to serious considerations about the future energy system and challenging the current and future role of gas in the energy system.

The workshop also aims to develop a policy conclusion for achieving energy sector decarbonisation quickly and efficiently.
