Last month, Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, called on the economic bloc to invest in more eco-friendly energy sources.
Speaking during a European Council conference, she said Europe’s transition towards net-zero will have to rely on natural gas.
She also tweeted: “We need more renewables. They are cheaper, carbon-free and homegrown.
“We also need a stable source, nuclear, and during the transition, gas.
“This is why we will come forward with our taxonomy proposal.”
The leaked paper appears to outline what exactly it would mean for natural gas to be a “transitional energy source”.
