    The original TEN-E Regulation, adopted in 2013, established the regulatory framework for the development of cross-border energy infrastructure within the EU. Following the publication of the EU Green Deal in 2019, the EC proposed to revise the Regulation to facilitate the access of renewable and low carbon gases to the energy system by enabling hydrogen infrastructure to benefit from PCI status and thus faster permitting and EU financial assistance. This paper analyses the final Regulation as well as the evolutionary journey from the EC Proposal to the final Regulation. The paper finds that the final Regulation enables and supports 'hybrid' decarbonization, which would allow renewable hydrogen to be maximized while low carbon hydrogen is allowed to play a role which allows for renewable hydrogen to be phased in more quickly, thus helping to meet the EU GHG emissions reduction targets. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether low carbon hydrogen will play an important role in the European energy transition. The combination of (a) natural gas being politically unpopular and expensive, (b) too few CCUS projects making substantial progress, (c) the EU's unequivocal political preference for renewable hydrogen, makes low carbon hydrogen progress less likely. Overall, the Regulation provides a positive contribution towards a regulatory framework for the decarbonization of the EU's natural gas infrastructure. It allows more time for doing so compared to the original EC Proposal and provides additional instruments for developing low carbon hydrogen. But it also confirms that unless low carbon hydrogen projects receive financial support and make significant progress before 2030, they are unlikely to happen at all. In fact, these projects would only be possible if investment is made now - rather than in the mid-2020s when Renewable and Natural Gases and Hydrogen Acquis is expected to be adopted. As private investors might be reluctant to invest and EU Member States might be reluctant to support these investments (at least until such time as the Acquis provides more clarity) and as the Regulation does not envisage significant EU financial support, any major low carbon hydrogen contribution towards meeting EU 2030 GHG emissions reduction targets is far from assured.

    Dieses Arbeitspapier gibt einen Überblick über aktuelle Normen und Standards, die für das Projektmanagement (PM) von Bedeutung sind. Als relevante Normungsorganisationen werden die International Organization for Standardization (ISO), das Deutsche Institut für Normung (DIN) und das US-amerikanische American National Standards Institute (ANSI) bzw. das Project Management Institute (PMI®) berücksichtigt. Bei den Standards werden solche Organisationen als relevant erachtet, die in der Lage sind, den von ihnen publizierten Standard einem breiten, im Projektmanagement tätigen Adressatenkreis publik zu machen, Dienstleistungen, wie z. B. Schulungen anzubieten, und eine Weiterentwicklung des Standards sicherzustellen. Insgesamt werden 39 PM-Normen und 19 PMStandards beschrieben. Die Darstellung umfasst beispielsweise die Normenreihen DIN 6990x und ISO 215xx, aber auch ANSI/PMI®-Normen, wie den in der Praxis weit verbreiteten PMBOK® Guide. Als Projektmanagement-Standards werden u. a. die IPMA Individual Competence Baseline (IPMA ICB®), PRINCE2® oder PM2 behandelt. Auch Standards für die Prüfung von Projekten finden Berücksichtigung, z. B. der Prüfungsstandard Nr. 4 des Deutschen Instituts für Interne Revision e. V. (DIIR) zur Prüfung von Projekten. Zudem werden fünf Werke zu agilen Vorgehensweisen im Projektmanagement vorgestellt. Jede Beschreibung enthält eine prägnante Inhaltsangabe, den formellen Status der Norm bzw. des Standards und Links für die eigene Recherche. Insofern soll dieses Arbeitspapier nicht nur eine aktuelle, systematische Zusammenstellung bieten, sondern es stellt auch eine Hilfestellung für ein schnelles Orientieren und Nachschlagen dar.

  3. From natural gas to hydrogen
    what are the rules for European gas network decarbonisation and do they ensure flexibility and security of supply?

    On 11 April 2024 the European Parliament adopted the Renewable and Natural Gases and Hydrogen (RNGH) Directive and the RNGH Regulation – otherwise known as the Decarbonised Gas and Hydrogen Package – and published both documents on 12 April 2024. Once approved by the Council and published in the EU Official Journal – expected by June – the Package, together with the TEN-E Regulation, will constitute the new regulatory framework, governing construction of, and access to, hydrogen networks, and the re-purposing and de-commissioning of, and access to, natural gas networks in the EU. This paper analyses the impact of this framework on the existing natural gas networks and the emerging hydrogen network, and seeks to establish specifically whether its rules ensure flexibility and security of supply. The paper concludes that although regulatory flexibility is built into the framework by establishing a transition implementation period, allowing exemptions and derogations for existing and new hydrogen infrastructure, and enabling financial and regulatory support via a PCI/PMI status, it is far from certain to be sufficient to enable the EU hydrogen market to develop at scale. The framework also does not guarantee that phasing in hydrogen networks and phasing out natural gas networks – either through re-purposing or de-commissioning – will be carried out in a coordinated manner across the EU, without negatively affecting the security of natural gas supply. Overall, the framework appears to be built on the premise that the EU hydrogen market will develop fast and at scale but lacks a “safety cushion”. In particular, it does not guarantee the coordinated re-purposing of the natural gas networks that could still be needed should the hydrogen market roll-out be slower and more gradual. The framework could of course be adjusted and will continue to remain ‘work in progress’ at least until 2030 as more rules are established in the upcoming network codes in the 2020s, as the hydrogen market rolls out (or fails to do so).
