Common Literature Gaps:• Countries are modeled individually• Contributions of interconnections towards the grid are not
considered • Old EU goal of 80% – 95% CO2 reduction by 2050 is used • Dispatchability, seasonal storage and power to gas are not
considered • Country level policies are not considered • Models consider 2015 as a reference point • Grid constraints are not considered • 3rd countries are not included (EU states are connected to)

In Summary5
• European Green Deal: net-zero by 2050 Path needs to be identified
• It is necessary to address literature gaps
• Fuel prices play a role in the introduction of CCS and NETs
• Addressing these gaps will aid in properly answering the question:How the EU should transition towards net-zero by 2050
