In Francesco Starace’s opinion, change is coming to Europe, where the EU has said it wants to be carbon neutral by 2050.

These industrial uses include chemical applications, the paper industry and use in the production of ceramics and glass, he said.

"Spare gas for them," Starace said."Stop using gas for heating, stop using gas for generating electricity when there are alternatives that are better."According to a recent report from Ember , a think tank focused on moving the planet away from coal to what it calls"clean electricity," fossil fuels were responsible for 37% of EU electricity generation in 2021.

Breaking down the above figure, Ember's report — published in February — said fossil gas power produced 18% of the EU's electricity, a three-year low. Renewables were responsible for 37%, while nuclear produced 26% of the bloc's electricity last year, Ember said. Across the Atlantic, preliminary figures from the U.S. Energy Administration show that natural gas was used in 38.3% of utility scale electricity generation in the United States in 2021.
