Position Papers

The European power plant industry, represented by EUTurbines and EUGINE, supports the full and quick decarbonisation of Europe’s gas infrastructure and the uptake of the hydrogen economy as intended by the gas market package. The text presented by the European Commission focuses on the supply and network aspects, but unfortunately neglects the needs of major […]

Taxonomy Complementary Climate Delegated Act (CDA) – Why it is essential to support it In its July plenary, the European Parliament will vote on the Complementary Climate Delegated Act (CDA) that should include, under strict conditions, specific nuclear and gas energy activities in the list of economic activities covered by the EU taxonomy. There are four key reasons […]

REPowerEU aims at rapidly reducing the European Unions’ dependence on Russian fossil fuels by fast forwarding the clean transition, saving energy and diversifying energy supplies. The European power plant industry, represented by EUTurbines and EUGINE, welcomes theREPowerEU Plan and supports the necessary efforts to become independent of Russianfossil fuels. Our sector stands ready to support […]

EUTurbines welcomes with much interest the discussion over Rate of Change of Frequency (RoCoF), as initiated by ENTSO-E, with the event “stakeholders’ webinar on RoCoF related consideration” on 1 February 2022.The intent of this paper is to address several points raised in this discussion, providing background information and recommendations from the gas and steam turbine […]

Hydrogen Power —What is needed to make it a reality?

The Building Blocks

EUTurbines, together with EUGINE, has reacted to the public consultation on the “Report on Taxonomy extension options linked to environmental objectives” from the Platform on Sustainable Finance. In our reply, we explain how the approach suggested by the Platform to extend the Taxonomy and cover transitional activities in a different manner is not suitable, as […]

The evaluation of gas power generation and cogeneration in the context of the EU Taxonomy on Sustainable Finance has been envisaged for autumn 2021. EUTurbines recommends to foresee two transitional activities for power generation and cogeneration with gas in the planned complementary Delegated Act: One supporting the fast replacement of the remaining coal and lignite […]

EUTurbines welcomes that the European Commission, in its draft guidelines, recognises the future value of gas power plants and their contribution to decarbonisation. The EUTurbines Position Paper recommends a number of improvements to the proposed text, especially the recognition that gas power plants are not limited to the use of natural gas but can operate […]

EUTurbines acknowledges and supports the important role of the Industrial Emission Directive (IED) to reduce pollution from industrial activities. Read the complete reply to the IED Revision.

The Joint EUTUrbines – EUGINE Position “Hydrogen and Gas Markets Decarbonisation Package Gas Market Reform” commenting on the Gas networks – revision of EU rules on market access has been submitted on 10 March.

The turbine industry is concerned that the European Commission proposal on the Taxonomy delegated acts does not sufficiently acknowledge the contribution of electricity generation and cogeneration with gaseous fuels – which does not only mean natural gas but also climate-neutral and renewable gases – into the future decarbonised and integrated energy system. Our key requests: […]
