2025 luxembourg city energy storage policy

What challenges does Luxembourg face in achieving its energy objectives?

The report notes that Luxembourg faces challenges in achieving its energy objectives. The country’s energy supply is dominated by fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide emissions are rising since 2016. This trend is driven by higher fuel consumption in the transport sector, mostly from fuel sales to international freight trucks and commuters.

How will Luxembourg's energy policy affect the industrial sector?

The rest of Luxembourg’s industrial sector will be affected in particular by the voluntary agreement to make additional energy savings of around 1 000 GWh from 2020 onwards; in other words, an approximate 12 % reduction within 12 years.

How does a high import dependency affect Luxembourg's Energy Security?

The high import dependency means that Luxembourg’s energy security is highly dependent on the neighbouring European countries. Supply bottlenecks in neighbouring countries and Europe as a whole therefore also directly affect Luxembourg.

How a vehicle is energy efficient in Luxembourg?

Depending on the age of the registered vehicles, the existing vehicles in Luxembourg have specific energy consumption and corresponding specific CO2 emissions (g/km). Continual developments in the field of drives and, for example, in the field of lightweight construction or aerodynamics increase the energy efficiency of corresponding new vehicles.

Does Luxembourg have a gas reservoir?

Luxembourg likewise has no domestic gas reservoirs. Therefore, the required working gas volume and the corresponding injection and withdrawal capacities in other countries are used, in particular in the supply and transit countries from which or via which the gas is also procured.
