The Potential for Renewable and Low-carbon Gas Deployment and Impact on Enabling Infrastucture Development for the Baltic Sea Region

The study focuses on the deployment of renewable and low-carbon gases in the Baltic Energy Market Interconnection Plan (BEMIP) region, focusing on the 8 BEMIP Member States (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Sweden). The report 1) assesses the economic and technical potential supply as well as demand for renewable and low-carbon gases in the BEMIP region; 2) maps current supply, infrastructure and demand policies and measures; 3) documents existing technical, safety and economic barriers for the development of infrastructure for the integration of biomethane and hydrogen; 4) identifies the hydrogen and methane infrastructure needs to facilitate the integration of renewable and low-carbon gases in the region; and 5) provides recommendations to address identified challenges.
