Based on the study commissioned by PA2 HU coordination and prepared by the Regional Energy Policy Research ‘The assessment of National Energy and Climate Action Plans of the Danube Region countries’, the 4 policy briefs prepared based on this study in the 4 most relevant topics for PA2 (gas, electricity, heating and cooling, transport) and the 2 expert workshops organized to discuss the findings of the study and the policy briefs, PA2 HU coordination commissioned a report to summarize the main findings and recommendations. The purpose of the report is to provide targeted policy recommendations based on the analysis of DR national strategic documents to address the most significant policy gaps that will unlock the transformation of energy systems and services in line with the Paris Agreement keeping the rise in global temperature at or below 1.5 °C. This should not only support stronger DR climate ambitions manifested in the revision of national strategic documents but should also aim to ensure their delivery.
The report is structured around the following policy areas: 1) decarbonisation across all sectors of the economy, 2) the transformation of the electricity sector, 3) deployment of renewable electricity, 4) greening the heating and cooling sectors, 5) the sustainable use of biomass resources, 6) the future role of natural gas and 7) sector coupling, 8) transition to sustainable mobility and 9) the decarbonisation of industry.
