🚨Today, EU ambassadors approved the Council’s position on speeding up environmental assessments. Fast-tracking permits for “strategic” projects risks rushed assessments and public consultation. Now it's time for MEPs to stand up for environmental rules that protect people, communities and nature.

🏗️ Europe’s clean industrial transition needs a serious push. The Commission’s new public procurement rules put climate and environmental goals more firmly on the agenda. That’s a step forward, but green procurement must be binding and ambitious enough to avoid a race to the bottom.

The CCS story in cement is just one symptom of a bigger problem. We don’t have time or money to bet on costly or unproven solutions. We need climate pragmatism: back solutions that work, scale and cut emissions now. Not technology neutrality. Technology that delivers.

Q&A: Does the world need ‘carbon capture and storage’ to reach net-zero? - Carbon Brief

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 10/08/2026
Cement is a great example. While the industry status quo gamble on costly CCS to solve their problems in a distant, uncertain future, frontrunners are already producing near-zero-carbon cement How? Using less clinker, alternative binders, cold processes, electrification and recycled concrete.

European Environmental Bureau🍃 @eeb.org · 10/08/2026
🦄 Unicorns don’t cut emissions. Carbon capture has had decades and billions to prove itself. Its poor results should set off alarm bells for us all. We already have cheaper, proven solutions to slash emissions now, even for “hard-to-abate” sectors. Stop chasing unicorns. Start scaling what works.
