2. Success depends on larger reductions in gas-fired electricity generation by temporarily increasing coal use (a trend we're already seeing reuters.com/world/europe/e…), reducing electricity demand & accelerating renewable energy deployment. Multiple combos of these three can work.
3. Despite increased reliance on coal for electricity generation, all successful gas independence scenarios result in significant declines in European greenhouse gas emissions as lower gas demand offsets emissions from increased coal combustion.
This is fantastic news: today, at its 2022 Ministerial Meeting, @FBirol announced that the @IEA would be making its energy data freely available "in the interest of supporting data transparency and supporting good decision-making."

There have been many people involved along the way. Of particular note, everyone behind @openmod #openmod, @daniel_huppmann, @nworbmot. I would like to think I gave them a modicum of useful support via my #freethemodels hashtag.
