The European Green Deal is the strategic plan to make the European Union carbon neutral by 2050. Decarbonizing the energy sector will be vital to achieving this goal, as this sector contributes significantly to Europe's CO_2 emissions. A promising strategy in this respect is gradually replacing natural gas with renewable gases, such as sustainably produced hydrogen or biogas. The use of hydrogen, in particular, is likely to be a favorable course of action, and preparations are already underway to transition the entire gas infrastructure to this plan (e.g., starting in 2025, all new gas boilers sold in the U.K. must be compatible with pure hydrogen).
