Beyond excited about EP's strong call for a geothermal strategy! ⬇️Innargi’s @ahaugstrup points out how #geothermal #districtheating contributes to EU climate targets and strategic autonomy. Clean heating needs to be high on the next EU agenda!

@CleantechMEPs in action! MEPs @lidiafopereira and @JakopDalunde visited cutting edge innovators in Belgium driving Europe’s green transition and competitiveness from the semiconductors, aerospace and textile recycling sectors. Check out👇 @resortecs @aerospacelab_ @epeas_news

The EP’s ITRE Committee adopted its report on #geothermal energy today. An important step to #decarbonise how we heat our homes with clean district heating!

Always a pleasure to discuss with @Novelis top management the relevance and direction of travel of the EU’s #CircularEconomy

"50% of all energy we use in Europe is for heating and cooling." Samir Abboud, CEO, Innargi on why he thinks this is going to be the decade of geothermal. #BloombergTech

Incredible source of renewable energy we all walk on #geothermal. Its time to properly harness its potential. For Europe's prosperity. For the Planet. For our future. More in our op-ed with @SeanKellyMEP @NielsFuglsang @CiaranCuffe @mortenhelveg euractiv.com/section/energy…

Op-ed alert! 📬Following the EP's ENVI Committee on the #NetZeroIndustryAct, we argue in @EURACTIV why industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) should be prioritised to truly “unavoidable” emissions: euractiv.com/section/energy… #EUGreenDeal #EUETS #CCS #CCUS #NZIA #NetZero

With 58% of EU citizens saying that the EU's transition to a green economy should be sped up (July 2023 Eurobarometer), we make a plea in @EURACTIV why the EU should set a #ClimateNeutrality target for 2040. euractiv.com/section/climat… #NetZero2040 #EUGreenDeal #Fitfor55 #COP28

@BrabantseBranie @BasEickhout @MChahim @Leondegraaf7 @mkvaalst Mooi artikel die het belang van een klimaatneutraal Europa rond 2040 voor ons en toekomstige generaties weergeeft. Dank Mathijs en FD voor het leuke gesprek! #2040ClimateNeutrality #EUETS #EUGreenDeal #Fitfor55

Brussel werkt aan een klimaatdoel voor 2040, een tussenstation op weg naar het volledig elimineren van broeikasgasemissies. Deze ogenschijnlijke bijzaak kan nog een gevoelige kwestie worden. Met reacties van @BasEickhout @MChahim @Leondegraaf7 @mkvaalst fd.nl/politiek/14866…

5. You will find more details in our 5-page vision paper. Of course, a target is not realistic without a credible pathway. We therefore also give our vision on what should be achieved under the key EU policies that we focus on in our six practices: ec.europa.eu/info/law/bette…  (5/5)

4. The current EU energy and climate policy framework already foresees that almost half of EU emissions, covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (#EUETS), reaches #ClimateNeutrality by around 2040. So we are not starting from scratch (4/5) #Fitfor55

What we achieve in life, echoes in eternity! Yesterday we submitted our vision to the EU's #2040ClimateTarget consultation (link below). A 🧵 we think the EU should strive to reach #ClimateNeutrality/#NetZero GHG emissions by 2040: (1/5) ec.europa.eu/info/law/bette… #ParisAgreement

The Net-Zero Industry Act (#NZIA) should help achieve the EU’s #FitFor55 targets and accelerate emission reductions – so it’s disappointing to see the proposed report by the European Parliament’s ITRE Rapporteur remove any reference to 2030. This is bad for the #EUGreenDeal (1/4)

.@Tesla ‘s Jos Dings explaining to MEP Vitanov, Beatriz Yordi & others that Tesla’s new semi-truck reaches 800 km range in real-world conditions, more than truck drivers are allowed to drive in 1 day. In other words: Electric long-distance HDVs are here today. #AFIR #ETS2 #EUETS
