OPEN LETTER TO MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT REGI COMMITTEE

The open letter argues that fossil gas is incompatible with the EU's climate-neutrality goals and the 1.5°C temperature limit. It claims that investing in renewable energy creates up to three times more jobs per euro than fossil fuel investments and that fossil gas infrastructure is generally incompatible with renewable gases at scale.

• The signatories argue that fossil gas should be excluded from the Just Transition Fund because it produces substantial CO2 and methane emissions, with methane being 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period and contributing to 25% of current warming.
• Fossil gas infrastructure is described as incompatible with most renewable gases, particularly when deployed at scale.
• Renewable energy investments are stated to generate up to three times more jobs per euro invested compared to fossil fuels, with a higher likelihood of these jobs being local.
• The document asserts that the Just Transition Fund must align with a commitment to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C to ensure no region or person is left behind in the transition to a climate-neutral future.
