again my remark: I don't know how you read this out of the report:
> If you dont like nuclear and have no hydro, it basically means fossils
The report doesn't even aim to make claims about feasibility of energy systems without nuclear, natural gas and hydro power.
> In pessimistic economy growth scenario about 80GW of gas are needed or more otherwise.
1) during the specific paths of which there are infinitely many ... (including the ones I linked)
2) seldom usage
3) replaced over time (when extrapolating there would be no natural gas usage )

The ones you linked too do use gas firming... And the goal there too is to sometimes replace it with hydrogen if ever possible which is more a pipedream than doing a messmer plan over entire EU today
In pessimistic economy growth scenario about 80GW of gas are needed or more otherwise. The hope is to sometime replace it with hydrogen which looks like a gamble https://ieefa.org/resources/germanys-gas-and-hydrogen-gamble
