The European Union announced new plans<\/a> today to swiftly shrink its reliance on Russian gas and accelerate its transition to clean energy. <\/strong>Russia\u2019s brutal invasion of Ukraine and continued threats to further squeeze Europe\u2019s gas and oil supplies have made clean energy an even more critical priority. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is time we tackle our vulnerabilities and rapidly become more independent in our energy choices. Let\u2019s dash into renewable energy at lightning speed,\u201d European Commission Executive Vice President Frans Timmermans said in a March 8th statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Over the next <\/strong>year, the European Commission says it can drastically cut its gas use by changing how it heats homes and powers buildings. <\/strong>Russian gas accounted for nearly<\/a> half<\/a> of the bloc\u2019s gas supply last year. That\u2019ll shrink down to zero \u201cwell before\u201d the end of the decade, if the European Commission follows through on goals set out today. <\/p>\n
\nPhasing out gas will trigger makeovers in homes, buildings, and the power sector<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nEventually phasing out gas will trigger makeovers in homes, buildings, and the power sector. Those changes were already on the way, thanks to Europe\u2019s plans to tackle climate change. Things just have to happen much faster now. <\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the blockers for further reduction in fossil fuel dependence will be much easier to remove,\u201d Charles Moore, European programme lead at energy think tank Ember, told The Verge <\/em>in an interview in advance of the European Commission\u2019s new announcements. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing like a really terrifying crisis to unwind that inertia.\u201d <\/p>\nA painful gas shortage<\/a> had already driven heating and energy prices up across the continent over the past year. Much of that was triggered by a steep rise in gas demand as economies emerged from pandemic-induced shutdowns, although other factors<\/a> have contributed to the crisis. Russian President Vladimir <\/strong>Putin\u2019s hostility has made things even more volatile. Just today, Russian officials threatened<\/a> to shut down a major pipeline that brings gas from Russia to Germany in response to heightened sanctions from the West. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe must become independent from Russian oil, coal and gas. We simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us,\u201d European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement<\/a> today.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe simply cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nThe European Commission\u2019s new plan includes speeding up permitting for renewable energy projects. It also wants to ramp up deployment of rooftop solar panels this year. To power heavy industry, it wants to replace Russian gas with hydrogen fuel made with renewable energy. It envisions a \u201cHydrogen Accelerator\u201d to encourage more storage, port, and transport infrastructure for the fuel. The European Commission also wants to double the bloc\u2019s production of biomethane made from waste by 2030. <\/p>\n
Another key pillar of the EU\u2019s plan is boosting energy efficiency. Renovating homes and buildings so that they use less energy is one of the easiest things Europe can do to reduce its gas consumption. And while winter is winding down, Europe needs to start getting ready for the next one \u2014 ostensibly without relying on as much Russian gas for heating. Replacing gas heating with more efficient electric heat pumps is another top priority between now and next winter, experts tell The Verge<\/em>. The European Commission now plans to get 10 million heat pumps out to residents over the next five years.<\/p>\nWhile the European Union made plans to wean itself off its dependency on fossil fuels from Russia in the long-term, the US today imposed an immediate ban<\/a> on Russian energy imports. As the world\u2019s leading oil and gas producer, the US is far less reliant on Russian fuel. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe can take this step when others cannot,\u201d US President Joe <\/strong>Biden said<\/a> at a press conference today. \u201cBut we\u2019re working closely with Europe and our partners to develop a long term strategy to reduce their dependence on Russian energy as well.\u201d <\/p>\n
The US has already boosted<\/a> its exports of liquified natural gas to Europe in recent months. And the EU today said that, for now, it will rely more on imports from the US and places outside of Russia to replenish dwindling gas stores. The commission wants gas storage filled to 90 percent of capacity by October in preparation for winter heating demand. <\/p>\n
But there are concerns that turning to new places for gas could prolong Europe\u2019s reliance on the fossil fuel. Germany, for example, recently decided to build new terminals<\/a> to import liquified natural gas.  <\/p>\n
When it comes to the power sector, gas-fired power plants currently fill in <\/strong>gaps in Europe\u2019s growing <\/strong>wind and solar energy capacity. Renewables are increasingly cheap and abundant, but customers need a source of power when winds calm and sunshine fades. Historically, fossil fuels and nuclear power plants have made up for that intermittency while utility-scale batteries and other crucial forms of energy storage are still under development. But with Russian gas off the table, Europe faces two controversial options as it builds out more renewable energy: nuclear and coal. <\/p>\n
\nEurope faces two controversial options as it builds out more renewable energy: nuclear and coal<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nThe debate over what role nuclear energy will play in the world\u2019s clean energy transition was already heating up<\/a> before Russia invaded Ukraine. It\u2019s even more complicated now. Last week, the International Energy Agency proposed maximizing power generation from nuclear power plants as part of a 10-point plan<\/a> for slashing Europe\u2019s gas imports from Russia. Belgian<\/a> and German<\/a> officials have similarly mulled over extending their countries\u2019 nuclear programs over the past week.<\/p>\n
But Germany did an about-face<\/a> again today, with officials shooting down the possibility of keeping the country\u2019s few remaining power plants open beyond their previously planned shutdowns this year. Germany had planned to retire them over concerns about safety and radioactive waste. Russia\u2019s apparent attack on Ukraine\u2019s largest nuclear power plant last week raised fears<\/a> of radioactive materials being released.<\/p>\n
In the absence of nuclear power and gas, more polluting coal-fired plants could find a lifeline. Power generation from coal in the EU has dropped<\/a> in half since 2015. Cheap renewables and gas drove that trend, but soaring gas prices now make coal more attractive again. <\/strong> <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s definitely a risk of higher emissions in the short-term,\u201d Moore says. But he still sees Europe\u2019s future in clean energy.<\/p>\n
Whatever happens next, Europe is about to undergo big changes. \u201cIn the course of weeks and days, European history has been changed,\u201d Timmermans said in a statement<\/a> yesterday on the war in Ukraine\u2019s impact on energy and environmental policy. \u201cEurope will never be the way it was before.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
