🚢 🏭 Renewable #hydrogen & derivatives will be needed as industrial feedstocks and marine fuels on the path to achieving #climateneutrality. Agora Industry, @theicct.org & @regassistproj.bsky.social have examined where using hydrogen would be most effective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 1/x

🆕 The EU needs to address its energy information problem. Information is not available at the level of granularity, reliability and consistency needed for informed decision-making. With @gzachmann.bsky.social @tagliapietra.bsky.social @bruegel.bsky.social 1/3 www.bruegel.org/policy-brief...

How are Germans planning to vote? I took a look, with five charts and a bunch of data 🇩🇪📈

Can anyone look at this graphic and say that we do not urgently need rewilding on a massive scale?

I very much agree with @bmcwilliams.bsky.social here. Simplification tends to be always welcomed, but the de minimis rule could be a double-hedge sword for EU domestic producers further down the value chain. The Commission should also be careful not to create loopholes. bsky.app/profile/bmcw...

🔥 NEW report: Europe’s #heating transition is at a critical crossroads. Without stronger policies, over 50 million fossil gas boilers could be installed in Europe by 2040 - threatening climate goals, #energysecurity & #cleantech leadership. 🏠⚡ Key findings ⬇️ 1/7

Financing building decarbonisation under the new EU #FiscalRules will be one of the biggest challenges to meeting the 2030 climate targets. We estimate a ~€150bn/year investment gap to achieve the Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD) 2030 target. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New study estimates annual investment needs to decarbonize the EU's building stock. Germany alone will need to invest €42 bn per year. Study prepared by @keliauskaite.bsky.social, @bmcwilliams.bsky.social, @gsgaravatti.bsky.social and @tagliapietra.bsky.social from @bruegel.bsky.social 🔌💡 1/2

💡 Europe's energy challenge: 98% of natural gas is imported—much as LNG—costing 5x more than domestic US gas. This dependency drives high electricity prices, with fossil fuels still central to the power mix. To make energy affordable, Europe must decarbonise. Here's four ways to reduce prices: 🧵

In my latest #Bruegel analysis, I explore three key challenges in phasing down free #ETS allowances for the EU energy-intensive sectors: 1️⃣ Export competitiveness 2️⃣ #CBAM's sectoral coverage 3️⃣ Geographical misallocation of industrial subsidies within the EU
The chart shows EU ETS industrial emissions (million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent) and industrial output trends (index 2015 = 100). It highlights the delicate balance between decarbonization efforts and industrial resilience. Industrial emissions decreased in 2020, 2022 and 2023, while industrial output is back at its 2015 level.

Why I’m optimistic about the energy transition: Humans tend to underestimate the pace of innovation and overestimate the inertia of incumbent technologies. Clean energy technologies have scaled much more rapidly than predicted by modellers

Shocking numbers in the latest ENEA report on the Italian Superbonus. Capital constraints and coordination issues have likely crippled the rate of adoption in multi-apartment buildings (vs single-family houses). 8 castles also benefitted from the 110% tax credit.

🆕 Together with @gsgaravatti.bsky.social @gzachmann.bsky.social @tagliapietra.bsky.social We have summarised our understanding on what remains of EU Russia energy trade; tl;dr trade is down 84% in two years, EU is in a powerful position to eliminate the remainder www.bruegel.org/analysis/eur...

How has the Ukrainian electricity trade evolved since the start of the war? - the power system is increasingly isolated - exports have vanished - imports from EU countries are starting to increase public.flourish.studio/visualisatio... Thanks to @gzachmann.bsky.social for the idea

This is a great tool on electricity prices (and what goes into them). Do have a play around with it and if you are in Belgium in a small household well done! You are paying some of the highest electricity prices in Europe.

Using Eurostat data, I compiled an interactive dashboard visualising final electricity prices in EU countries disentangled by price components for different consumer types. Hoping that it is of some use, please find it here: bruegel.org/dataset/elec... #Electricity_tariffs_dashboard #Bruegel
