In this podcast we explore the potential ecological benefits of increasing our capacity to store energy, especially from renewable sources. As the availability of some renewable energy sources is variable and intermittent, devising new energy storage capacities could ensure energy security and reliability and help the EU in its efforts to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

EPRS Science and Technology Podcast - What if increased energy storage could help fix climate change?

The European Commission outlined various approaches to capture and store or isolate carbon dioxide emissions, or capture already released carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to reduce the concentration and thereby its warming effect. Various solutions, both technology- and nature-based, are being brought forward to this end. A key challenge will be to ensure permanence of carbon dioxide removals, whether in underground geological storage or through actively managed natural processes, such as carbon farming and management practices in the land use, land-use change and forestry sectors.

Plans to refill Europe’s gas reserves more quickly to ensure supply during the cold season will be voted on by MEPs, in the wake of Russia’s war against Ukraine.The new regulation, already agreed upon with EU ministers, sets a mandatory minimum level of gas in storage facilities of 80% by 1 November 2022, but member states and operators should strive to reach 85%. Closing statement by Cristian-Silviu BUŞOI (EPP, RO), Rapporteur, and by Frans TIMMERMANS, vicepresident of the European Commission in charge of the Green Deal.

Gas storage: opening statements by Cristian-Silviu BUŞOI (EPP, RO), Rapporteur, and by Frans TIMMERMANS, vicepresident of the European Commission in charge of the Green Deal

The new regulation, already agreed upon with EU ministers, sets a mandatory minimum level of gas in storage facilities of 80% by 1 November 2022, but member states and operators should strive to reach 85%. The target will rise to 90% in subsequent years, to protect Europeans from possible supply shocks. The text urges EU countries to diversify gas supply sources and boost energy efficiency. Cristian-Silviu BUŞOI (EPP, RO), rapporteur and Jerzy BUZEK (EPP, PL), Lead negotiator explain the new regulation on gas storage.

The draft law, already agreed with EU Ministers, is debated and put to the vote in plenary. It sets the criteria and the methodology for selecting energy projects of common interest (PCIs), such as high-voltage transmission lines, pipelines, energy storage facilities or smart grids, which would benefit from fast-track administrative procedures and be eligible to receive EU funds. Closing statements by Jutta URPILAINEN, Commissioner for International Partnerships and by Zdzisław KRASNODĘBSKI (ECR,PL), rapporteur.

As part of efforts to achieve the goal of a carbon-neutral EU by 2050, Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) vote on proposals to increase energy storage capacity and guarantee the security of energy supply, with renewables making up an increasingly larger part of Europe’s energy mix. MEPs should present ideas to develop storage through hydrogen, batteries and other solutions.
