HomeThe role of gas DSOs and distribution networks in the context of the energy transition
Metadatos de publicación
The focus of the European policy on natural gas is evolving from market integration, competition and security of supply towards sustainability. Long term (2050) decarbonisation objectives are expected to be fulfilled by energy efficiency actions and further additions of renewables in the energy mix including the injection of gases of reduced carbon footprint into transmission and distribution networks. Moreover, in the context of the European Green Deal, decarbonisation of the gas sector will have to be facilitated, including through the development of decarbonised gases based on a competitive decarbonised gas market, and by addressing the issue of energy-related methane emissions. This study aims to - Evaluate the existing EU framework as set mainly by Directive 2009/73/EC and identify barriers and gaps that may prevent the injection of new gases at distribution level. - Assess the need for new rules and/or market arrangements at EU level concerning: the operation and planning aspects of distribution networks including specific issues related to flexibility and storage; Issues related to the injection of gases at distribution level; Interoperability issues that may rise from the blending of gaseous fuels. - Examine the role of gas Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and distribution net-works under a new environment, shaped by the penetration of biogas, hydrogen and power to gas technologies. - Assess the need and different options for formal representation of gas DSOs at EU level. Further, the study aims to determine the need for further clarity in the role of the DSO for example the role of DSOs in measuring gas quality and the need for compliance to standards for the carbon footprint of the injected blend of gaseous fuels. The study comprises of three workstreams. The first workstream includes a review of the current status of EU markets regarding the penetration of new gases and an analysis of the scenarios quantified by the PRIMES model in the context of the European Long-Term Strategic Vision with emphasis on distribution networks.
