🔎 EU ETS: where do Member States stand? In today’s edition of @energy.contexte.com, you can find my infographic mapping Member States’ positions on six key issues of the upcoming revision of the #ETS, scheduled for July. It will be updated regularly. Link to the original FR version in comments

🚨 @contexte.com got a leak of the Commission communication announcing measures to support Member States in the face of the #energy crisis (kudos to @sunderjourno.bsky.social). The EC is planning to propose a targeted review of production criteria for renewable hydrogen (RFNBOs delegated act) in June

The European Commission has postponed the adoption of the #ETS benchmarks 2026–2030 to “shortly after Easter”. A draft version shows that the EC was planning to reduce the fallback benchmarks by 50%, a move strongly opposed by certain industries, particularly the chemical sector.

The @europarl.europa.eu has just endorsed the trilogue agreement on the 2040 #climate target. Next and final step before its publication to the EU Official Journal: formal adoption by the Member States at ministerial level

The @socialistsanddemocrats.eu have chosen Tsvetelina Penkova to be European Parliament's rapporteur for the revision of the regulation on trans-European energy infrastructure #TEN-E, and Niels Fuglsang to be rapporteur on the permitting measures of the #gridsPackage

The European Commission has just opened two consultations related to the EU post-2030 climate framework: 1/ on the legal framework for the possible use of international carbon credits towards the 2040 climate target 2/ on national targets and flexibilities in the climate policy framework after 2030

🇨🇿 Calling again for a further postponement of #ETS2 and price caps or price corridors on #ETS1

This evening, @envi.europarl.europa.eu adopted the deal with @eucouncil.bsky.social on the EU 2040 climate target with ⬆️50⬇️26↔️1 Vote in plenary scheduled for the session 9-12 February. The agreed text is available here⤵️ www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/202...

#ETS2 : In a new joint non paper, 🇭🇺🇨🇿 and 🇸🇰 are calling on the European Commission to further postpone the launch of the carbon market for buildings and road transport (ETS2) at least until 2030

The Council and the @europarl.europa.eu have just reached a trilogue deal on the EU 2040 #climate target: 90% reduction in net GHG emissions compared to 1990 levels with the possibility of using up to 5% of international carbon credits

After an intense week tracking political negotiations in Belém, my colleague @vrg.bsky.social and I have summed up the key outcomes of #COP30 — and the main lessons to take away —in two articles.

🇧🇷 Climat : à Belém, la #COP30 s’achève sur un accord a minima. Le principal texte ne mentionne pas explicitement les énergies fossiles. Mais il accroît le financement des pays riches en matière d’adaptation. Notre article 🪶 @genicotd.bsky.social @vrg.bsky.social www.contexte.com/fr/article/e...

Contrairement à l'Amazonie qui l'accueille, la #COP30 est encore loin d'avoir atteint son point de bascule🫠Notre bilan d'une première semaine de négos climat, en coprod avec le camarade @genicotd.bsky.social,à lire ici ⤵️

The @europarl.europa.eu has just adopted its position on the EU 2040 #climate target

2040 climate target adopted in ENVI committee 🎯✅ 👍55, 👎32 • 90% net reduction in EU emissions in 2040 • Up to 5% use of international carbon credits • ETS2 for road & building postponed by one year, to 2028 • Possible adjustment if natural carbon sink underperform

Entre ambitions nationales insuffisantes, tensions géopolitiques et divisions sur le financement, la #COP30, qui s’ouvre ce 10 novembre à Belém (Brésil), s’annonce comme un test pour la survie de l’accord de Paris. 📝 @genicotd.bsky.social @vrg.bsky.social www.contexte.com/fr/article/e...

📍Heads up: a flood of initiatives coming on 25/11, including the European Grids Package & Industrial Accelerator Act

The vote in the Environment committee of the European Parliament on the 2040 climate target has been removed from the draft agenda for the sitting of 23 September - in reaction to the announcement of a debate at EUCO level europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docume...

The 🇩🇰 presidency of the Council is suggesting a range of 66.3%-72.5% for the temporary nationally determined contribution (#NDC) of the EU, "without prejudice to the final agreement of the EU's 2040 climate target". The issue will be discussed tomorrow by Coreper I

In the new draft compromise on the 2040 #climate target, the 3% international carbon credits contributing to the target is now under brackets (which emphasizes that this point is still under discussion), as well as the 2036 date

Together with other ENVI coordinators from pro-EU groups in parliament, I just finalized a timeline to complete 2040 climate targets before the climate summit #COP30. From the beginning, it was a mistake by EPP to hand over this crucial climate file to the far-right. 1/3

2040 #climate target: The European Parliament political groups have just adopted a timeline for the negotiations - report 25/07 - deadline for amendments 08/09 - Vote in Environment committee 23/09 - plenary vote: first session of October

The European Parliament rejected the request by Renew, the Greens and S&D to use an urgent procedure on the 2040 #climate target. Seems that they didn't counvinced the EPP not to vote with PfE, ESN and ECR 300+, 379-, 8 abstentions.

At the European Parliament, the group Patriots for Europe (PfE) got the rapporteurship of the #2040 climate target according to two sources. Later today the MEPs will vote on a request by the Greens for an urgent procedure

According to several sources, the 2040 climate target will be discussed by EU leaders at Thursday's EUCO summit. France wants to raise it. Will it delay the 2040 legislative proposal from the European Commission expected on the 2nd of July?

At the @iea.org’s 10th Annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency, commissioner Dan Jørgensen said he will put forward a "data centre energy efficiency package" - to be published together with the Strategy Roadmap on Digitalisation and AI (Q1 2026)

It's confirmed. The legislative proposal on the 2040 #climate target is foreseen on the 2nd of July. The #MFF package is spread over two weeks

The European Commission has just launched a public consultation on its upcoming #grid package. Also this morning, the European Parliament's Committee on Energy (ITRE) has adopted an INI report on grids with a broad majority (52✅, 9❌, 2⭕️)

The amendment of the EU #Climate Law to include the 2040 climate target is now foreseen for Q1 2025 in the 2025 Commission working programme (instead of Q2 2025 in the draft version)

A new version of the leaked Commission work programme 2025 is circulating. No major change compared to the previous version as regards #energy and #climate policies (1/2)
