London — A grouping of European gas grid operators said Monday there was a bigger role than thought for renewable gases to play in Europe's decarbonization efforts, with infrastructure needed to allow for some 270 Bcm/year of "green" gas usage by 2050.

Under the umbrella of the Gas for Climate initiative -- formed in 2017 to analyze and create awareness about the role of renewable and low-carbon gas -- the TSOs said existing infrastructure could be used to transport cleaner gas in the future.
