Wind, solar and heat pumps can free EU from LNG dependence – study
If the EU meets its solar and wind deployment targets, it could cut gas demand by around one-quarter by 2030, with savings that could exceed the amount of LNG the bloc is expected to import from Qatar. But Europe's climate and energy transition is giving China a unique opportunity.
Hitting EU Renewables Targets Could Slash Gas Demand a Quarter by 2030
The European Union could save a lot on LNG imports by 2030 if it achieves its heat pump, solar, and wind installation targets…so much so that the bloc could save twice the gas it imports from Qatar, the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) said on Tuesday. IEEFA, which advocates for an accelerated energy transition, estimates that heat pump deployment and increased solar and wind generation reduced the EU's natural gas d…
Solar and wind power, together with heat pumps, can reduce European Union gas demand by about 25% by 2030, as described in the IEEFA analysis.
Heat pumps, solar and wind could cut EU gas use by a quarter and blunt next energy shock, study finds
Hitting EU targets for heat pumps, solar and wind could slash gas demand by roughly a quarter by 2030 — a saving twice the size of the LNG volumes Qatar could potentially supply to Europe by then, according to new analysis by the think-tank Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA). Boosting the continent’s resilience by mitigating energy supply risks is of strategic importance as escalating tensions in the Middle East and di…
The energy crisis of 2026 again raises the question of European resilience. But this time, the European Union has a start on a structural response: renewable energy and heating electrification. According to an analysis by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA), clean technologies deployed in recent years have already significantly reduced gas consumption. And if the targets are achieved, the effect could be considerabl…
