Title: European Carbon Neutrality: The Importance of Gas, A study for Eurogas 
Notes: In November 2018, the European Commission proposed eight scenarios to achieving its vision of a carbon neutral 2050 energy system. Gas fuels are necessary in all the scenarios identified by the European Commission, but the need for gas is considerably higher in some. To investigate these scenarios further and understand what would need to change in both our society and our energy mix, Eurogas commissioned a study with DNV to demonstrate there are many different pathways to 2050.
