Clean flexibility report: Replacing fossil gas with clean flexibility to build a fairer, secure energy future.

Deadline for submissions: 22.06.2025.

 

Terms of Reference

 

Beyond Fossil Fuels (BFF) is an alliance of passionate civil society groups committed to transforming the European energy sector. We strive for a just transition to a fossil-free, fully renewables-based energy system that protects people, nature, and our planet. As an independent campaign, we are driven by a fierce dedication to ending our reliance on coal by 2030 and fossil gas by 2035 with a focus on the power sector. This campaign is supported by a secretariat, consisting of 30 people, spread across Europe.

Context
There is a need to rapidly decarbonise European power systems. This requires the rapid scaling of clean flexibility solutions, alongside the continued build-out of renewable energy projects and grid infrastructure. However, at present, many European governments and utilities are expanding their plans to support new and existing gas plants. This is largely due to a prevailing view that gas is necessary to run an energy system securely and flexibly, alongside intermittent renewable energy sources.

Purpose of the research
In order to underpin the work of Beyond Fossil Fuels and our campaign partners, we are looking to commission a technical report which sets out key arguments, evidence and case studies that can build knowledge and confidence that clean flexibility can, and should, replace the role of gas.This research will help create a strong, positive narrative about clean flexibility, which campaigners can use to help build political support and enable policy solutions.

Subject of the research 

  • Overview of clean flexibility, based on a literature review, clearly explaining the different forms of intermittency and corresponding clean flexibility solutions; as well as the technology trends projecting their development and market growth.
  • Provide a synthesis of existing modelling and analysis from European countries that demonstrates the feasibility of running energy systems without fossil fuels, or only used occasionally for back up.
  • Bring together statistics and case studies to demonstrate the benefits associated with using clean flexibility over fossil flexibility – with a focus on highlighting the benefits for local communities.

Deliverables:

  1. Report – envisioned around 60 pages, with graphs and charts, with basic layout design
  2. Webinar – following the finalisation of the report, the author will host a webinar for members of the Beyond Fossil Fuels coalition.

Please download the complete Terms of Reference here.

Timeline

  • Proposals will be accepted until 22nd June.
  • We will inform successful candidates around the beginning of July
  • It is envisaged that the report will take 2-3 months to complete, with a desired delivery date in October.

Modalities
Please submit proposals, including a quote, to Juliet Phillips ([email protected] ) with the address of Beyond Fossil Fuels e.V., Gartenstraße 110 10115 Berlin, Germany
