Topic: REPowerEU: A plan to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition
The European Commission (EC) has proposed a plan for EU countries to completely abandon coal, oil and gas from Russia, which should be implemented "well before 2030".
The plan, called REPower EU, calls for diversification of gas supplies through increased imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and pipelines from non-Russian suppliers, as well as increased production and imports of biomethane and renewable hydrogen.
The EC also points to the need to drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels by increasing energy efficiency, expanding the use of renewable energy sources and electrification, and removing bottlenecks in infrastructure. All of this will help EU countries reduce their dependence on gas supplies from Russia by 67 percent (about 100 billion cubic meters) by the end of 2022.
