The TEN-E Regulation supports the modernisation of Europe's cross-border energy infrastructure to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal. Europe's progress towards a climate neutral economy powered by clean energy requires new infrastructure adapted to new technologies. The TEN-E policy supports this transformation through projects of common interest (PCIs), which must contribute to the achievement of the EU's emission reduction targets for 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050.

The regulation was updated in May 2022 to align with the European Union’s 2050 climate neutrality objectives. The revision includes three priority thematic areas: smart electricity grids, smart gas grids, and cross-border CO2 networks. The CO2 networks area includes CO2 transport and storage infrastructure between EU member states and with neighbouring third countries. Eligible infrastructure includes pipelines, CO2 storage facilities linked to cross-border transport of CO2 (excluded prior to the update), and fixed facilities for liquefaction and buffer storage that are associated with further transportation. Other transport methods – ships, barges, trucks and trains – are now referenced, but do not appear to be considered eligible. The infrastructure for geological storage that is applicable to this regulation is the associated surface and injection facilities necessary to allow the cross-border transport and storage of CO2, and CO2 transport infrastructure is currently limited to pipelines.

In addition to receiving access to funding, projects that have PCI status may also receive preferential treatment from relevant authorities in the context of permitting and environmental assessment. PCIs can benefit from accelerated planning and permitting, a single authority for obtaining permits, and lower administrative costs from streamlined environmental review processes.

Global Oil Security Looks Shakier as Conflicts Hit 45 Million Bpd of Supply

Almost half of the world’s oil supply is produced in regions currently engaged in hot conflicts, Reuters reported this week. The situation raises questions about long-term oil supply security and the limits to diversification. The Middle East, of course, is the most obvious and most disruptive example. While oil prices on speculative markets have remained capped by trader optimism, the physical supply of the vital energy commodity has been severely compromised, leading to rationing and emergency releases from storage across the world. Meanwhile,…

MIT Uses AI to Challenge a Century-Old Process for Mass Ammonia Production

Ammonia production consumes as much as 2% of the world's energy and generates roughly 1.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely because the industry still relies on a century-old process powered by fossil fuels. Roughly 80% of the 200 million metric tons of ammonia produced globally every year goes into nitrogen fertilizers, with the rest used in plastics, textiles, explosives and other industrial chemicals. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have now developed a new method that uses AI and quantum-mechanical…

Equinor Targets 27% International Production Growth by 2030

Alongside boosting exploration and production offshore its home market Norway, Equinor is pursuing an international growth strategy, aiming to significantly increase its overseas oil and gas output by focusing on fewer but more lucrative regions such as the U.S., Brazil, and Angola. In recent years, Equinor has streamlined and high-graded its portfolio outside Norway, selling assets and positions in Azerbaijan and Nigeria, to name a few. But Equinor has kept and grown its U.S., Brazilian, and Angolan businesses, and plans to keep these growing…

Octopus Boss Warns UK Is Too Exposed to Global Gas Prices

Octopus boss Greg Jackson has called on Andy Burnham to deliver “urgent reform” to the energy market to protect households from “volatile” gas prices. Jackson, founder of the UK’s biggest household electricity supplier, said: “The government’s decision to take VAT off electricity and remove some of the levies from bills has helped soften the blow this winter, but bills are still too high. “Britain remains far too exposed to volatile global gas prices. The wars in Ukraine and Iran have created an unprecedented…
