Weakening rules risks loopholes & undermines climate integrity. 📦 Default values for #CBAM goods must reflect the highest-emission production route, not an average. Without preference for actual emissions, low-carbon producers abroad lose incentives.

Welcome back to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread!🧵 Bellona has been working hard to find solutions to get the #CBAM right for the #climate & EU industry. In this thread, we will share the main points of our consultation response on the CBAM. Read on for more!

4️⃣ Embed system-level efficiency into planning and scenarios to cut waste, costs, dependencies & address scarcity. Complement grid expansion with efficiency of infrastructure to meet EU targets, all while respecting physical limits & system security.

Welcome back to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread! 🧵 Today, we will explore the upcoming European Grids Package – a major opportunity for Europe to deliver the needed electricity grid infrastructure towards a timely and cost-efficient energy transition

Pacto #PYMESXCLIMA, promovido por @climatest.bsky.social, es una amplia red que tiene por objetivo crear un ecosistema de apoyo climático tanto a nivel local como sectorial. 👉 No te olvides de visitar la web del pacto: https://f.mtr.cool/brvwtlgphl @eduardosabaris.bsky.social

Read our views on the #EUBudget proposal here www.linkedin.com/pulse/five-t...

FP10 must be: 1. ‘self-standing’ with a ring-fenced budget; 2. sufficiently funded for the challenges the EU faces, with stable priorities & a collaborative research component; 3. standalone yet closely linked to scale-up instruments such as the Competitiveness Fund, Innovation Fund and others

The needs for #innovation are clear: 1. A clear target for iRETs in the 2040 climate goal 2. Inclusion of iRETs in the upcoming EU Electrification Action Plan & the 2028–2034 R&I programme. 3. Technology-specific financial support at both EU & national level to bring demo projects to life

Other important news this week: innovation in the spotlight! Just now, the EC published their guidance on renewables, particularly innovative technologies which have "important potential" Read it here: energy.ec.europa.eu/news/commiss... #CleanTechEU #innovation #innovativeRES

Our new research shows the barriers to unlocking financial flows are multi-level and vary vastly from one region to another. Our method clusters EU regions on a spectrum of ‘electrification-readiness’. We identified 5 distinct regional profiles ranging from Very Low Barriers to Very High Barriers.

You may claim being green or you may decide not to do it. But customers deserve respect. We should honour their trust and ensure a reliable information support.

“What we know from the science is that unless we halve emissions by 2030, we’re not going to be able to get anywhere close to the Paris Agreement’s limit.” “Overshooting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C target would be a very serious political failure.” Very true. www.oneearthnow.org/p/rates-of-w...

Climate negotiators meet this week in Bonn for mid-year talks. On the table are plans for more concrete mitigation and adaptation initiatives that can form the basis of countries' climate plans. Follow UNEP events at #JuneClimateMeetings here: www.unep.org/events/confe...

📢 The EU faces a significant climate investment gap: €340–477 billion annually through 2050. Half of this is unaccounted for in current budgets. We need smarter financial tools to bridge this divide.​ www.climatestrategy.es/press/ECFbre...

Welcome to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread! 🧵This week we’re diving into Zero-Emission Construction Sites #ZECS. Did you know the construction sector is a major, yet often overlooked, source of greenhouse gas #emissions and urban air #pollution in Europe?

1/12 Tony Blair Institute have released a report which is getting a lot of coverage in UK today It says the drive for net zero emissions is flawed and some media outlets have gone to town However it’s a bit odd By odd, I mean there’s a lot of bollocks in it and shouldn't be taken seriously 🧵🧵

Since the year of the Paris Agreement on climate change, City of London banks have poured over $100bn into companies developing huge oil, gas & coal projects driving the climate past those intlly agreed temperature limits - with catastrophic global consequences www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Read a quick summary of #Madrid’s “Zero Day” by our CEO in the post below www.linkedin.com/posts/peter-...

➡️ The environmental gains are substantial. Common procurement criteria for high-volume materials with significant #decarbonisation & #circularity potential, e.g. #concrete and #steel - could cut 1/4 of the EU’s construction-related emissions in public procurement. ecostandard.org/publications...

➡️ And we’re not surprised! With public projects accounting for 31% the construction sector’s activity and low costs for deploying greener materials, contracting authorities have a key role to play in creating #LeadMarkets for innovative solutions.

Welcome to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread! EU policymakers can ensure taxpayers money is spent well – matching green and #competitiveness agendas with a level playing field for European businesses – by unlocking the full potential of green public #procurement.
