EURACTIV organised a debate to discuss how LNG developers are scaling up technologies and bringing down costs to allow fuels like hydrogen to be imported in Europe, says an article published on their website.
EU LNG import terminals
The EU LNG import terminals currently import LNG that consists of methane of fossil origin.
Lower CO2 emissions
LNG produces lower CO2 emissions than most fossil fuels and has a low level of methane leakages in the long term.
Need to demonstrate
However, they need to demonstrate their potential for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and break the public perception for their exclusive use for the traditional fossil fuel.
Import gates for renewable energy sources
In the long-term, LNG terminals have the potential to be the import gates for renewable energy sources in liquified form based on a proven business model.
Through their assets, capabilities and expertise, and their location close to industrial zones, LNG terminals are well positioned to
- develop new services,
- making a meaningful contribution to the energy transition and
- the circular economy.
