Lucila de Almeida 🇺🇦

🌍 The discussion now shifts towards #environmental protection with speakers @LdeAlmei and @j_richelle1 and chair @fs_colli (@FasosMaastricht)

New @TELjournal publication with @LdeAlmei on #ReflexiveLaw out now! We present a new framework on the 3 drivers of deeper learning through legislation for sustainability transformations. Huge thanks go to @judith_leeuwen & @JosephinevZeben🙏🏼 doi.org/10.1017/S20471…

@eui_law @Aurelie_Villa @nhelberger Congrats @Aurelie_Villa

🎉Congratulations to @Aurelie_Villa on defending her thesis "Culture in European Union Law: Between Market and Society"!🎓🥳 Shout-out to the jury members: Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz, EUI (supervisor) Bruno de Witte, EUI Loïc Azoulai, EUI @nhelberger, University of Amsterdam

A warm welcome to Professor Gráinne de Búrca, who has joined the @eui_law Department! 👏 In an interview, the expert on #EU law and #humanrights describes her scholarship to date and what attracts her to working at the EUI. 📃 Check it out: loom.ly/C58hxL8

The agreement in trilogue on the « renewable energy » directive (RED) has just been adopted by a large majority in plenary. 1/2 Rapporteur : @markuspieperMEP

@LMuinzer Such a nice suprise. Thanks for sharing this moment

@LdeAlmei, it was lovely to share a beer with you on my travels, Lucila! Here's the pic!

This year marks the halfway point for UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. New report released by @IEA, @IRENA, @UNStats, @WBG_Energy & @WHO shows that basic energy to all continues to falter due to the pandemic & ongoing energy crisis.⚡🌐 Read👉bit.ly/3qvGzVS

The easiest way to decarbonize blue-water shipping well prove to be biogas. Ammonia is inefficient and a bastard to handle. Methanol requires carbon, for which biogas will be the cheapest source, so why not just use that. And gas engines are boringly easy. hydrogeninsight.com/transport/maer…

The European Union legislative procedure. *dramatisation

Major news from Europe! The Net Zero Industry Act #NZIA was published today - the EU's response to the US Inflation Reduction Act. Let's look at what it means for #CCS and #CarbonRemoval. A longer overview ↓ The big news: an annual 50Mt injection capacity in strategic CO2 storage sites in the EU by 2030. That's for the EU only (not EEA which would also cover Norway, for example). This is a major milestone for #CCS policy in the EU. A few numbers for background. At the 2022 EU CCUS Forum, stakeholders estimated the demand for annual storage services in the EEA (including Norway, Iceland) to grow from 80 million tonnes of CO2 in 2030 to at least 300 million tonnes of CO2 in 2040. The 50Mt target will help to develop CO2 capture and storage as an economically viable climate solution reducing emissions, but also for technological carbon removal methods that rely on geological storage like #DACCS and #BECCS. The target is especially important in light of the lack of storage sites which is currently a major bottleneck in Europe for expanding CCS deployment. Member States must publicly share data on areas where CO2 storage sites can be permitted. MS are also required to annually report (1) CO2 capture projects, estimating the corresponding need for CO2 injection and storage capacities, (2) storage projects in progress, and (3) national support measures to help with the first two areas. Article 18 outlines a completely new policy tool in the EU, "Contribution of authorised oil and gas producers", basically a type of carbon takeback obligation. Such entities are subject to an individual contribution to the EU-wide 50Mt target, calculated pro-rata based on each entity’s share in the EU's crude oil and natural gas production. And there is a lot more in the proposal: • improving investment certainty, policy focus and coordination through the setting of clear objectives and monitoring mechanisms; • lowering the administrative burden for developing net-zero manufacturing projects including by streamlining administrative requirements and facilitating permitting, setting up regulatory sandboxes and ensuring access to information; • facilitating access to markets by specific measures related to public demand through public procurement procedures and auctions, as well as through schemes to support private demand by consumers; • supporting innovation, including through regulatory sandboxes; enhancing skills for net-zero technologies and thereby promoting quality job creation; • coordinating net-zero industrial partnerships.

Glad and happy to update my class on the Law of the Seas in the course of #EnvironmentalLaw in the coming weeks @nova_green Nova School of Law. Congrats!

I wrote a blog post for @users_tcp with @AnnaGorbatcheva sharing key findings from our paper defining P2P, transactive, & collective self-consumption energy models. We discuss what sets these models apart from traditional energy systems and from each other:userstcp.org/news/what-we-t…

Last year’s record subsidies were in sharp contrast with the Glasgow Climate Pact, which called on countries to “phase-out … inefficient fossil fuel subsidies, while providing targeted support to the poorest and most vulnerable” 💸 @IEA iea.org/commentaries/t…

The difference between a boss and a mentor is that the latter never resigns ➰. Thank you! @JMGlachant

A great satisfaction to work in a place where your colleagues became family! @WURLaw ❤

Tomorrow is my inaugural lecture, and arriving at the @NOVAunl and seeing my face on the big screen gives me a mixed feelings of satisfaction and anxiety. Lucky me to be surrounded by friends. Thanks, @JosephinevZeben @NadiaBernaz form coming from NL.

After a few weeks offline from the Twitter rule, a good reason to return. My great colleague @NadiaBernaz is coming to Lisbon :) Stay tuned and register for the hybrid session. @clairerabright @NOVA_BHRE @nova_green

@vitormdias86 @KeoughGlobalND Hi Vitor, I am teaching this semestre the course Energy, Climate and Just Transition at NOVA School of Law @nova_green. We might have some common discussions in our courses.
