France has a surplus of low-carbon electricity that could indeed be partly absorbed by data centers. But predicting exactly how much electricity future data centers will require is extremely hard,” said Phuc-Vinh Nguyen, head of the Jacques Delors Institute’s energy center.

Latest paper adresses how MS spend their ETS revenues. Spoiler, not on industrial decarbonisation. Between 2021 and 2024, Member States have spent €53 bn of their €112 bn ETS revenues. Yet only €4 billion, or 8% of spent revenues, has been directed towards industry: institutdelors.eu/publications...

Today, France gathered companies to perpetuate the momentum surrounding electrification that was initiated a few weeks ago with its dedicated plan. Having abundant, low-carbon electricity at its disposal positions France as a legitimate frontrunner in electrification, www.elysee.fr/emmanuel-mac...

According to a recent analysis by the Jacques Delors Institute, 22 of the 27 EU MS have adopted over 120 support measures at a collective cost of over €9 billion. Sometimes I actually wonder if something has been learned from the past crisis. My itw 👇: www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

Since the Iran war, 22 EU states have introduced more than 120 uncoordinated measures costing over €9 billion to ease the impact of higher energy prices, according to a report by the Jacques Delors Institute. That comes on top of €13 bn in additional costs due to more expensive fossil-fuel imports.

We launched our tracker mapping the measures taken by 22 MS as an answer to the Iran war. Most of them are untargetted and mute the price signal (capping price, excise reduction) for a total amount of 9 bn. Only 3 MS have commited to a decent electrification push : institutdelors.eu/en/projets/i...

The EU needs a gas coordinated approach for storage AND demand reduction as we argue. To do so, a dedicated legal framework is required as done during the previous crisis. If not, the risk is that MS act recklessly like they are doing by capping oil at the pump. institutdelors.eu/en/publicati...

The peak of TTF following the blocage was 63€, a price that was met in mid September 2021. When previous gas cap was proposed price was at 120€ (nov 22). It feels like the EC is panicking leading them to offer wrong solutions. Focus should be on reducing demand not nullifying price signal.

Phuc-Vinh Nguyen @phuc-vinh.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Quite a poor timing for Italy indeed, who also happens to be the EU MS the most reliant on Qatar's LNG. But the Iran situation might act as a suppletive argument for IT to ask for prices measures during the EUCO, the EC will have to stand its ground.

Phuc-Vinh Nguyen @phuc-vinh.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

A much welcomed stance that must also be backed by France as the country benefit a lot from the carbon price signal to export its low-carbon electricity. Postponing the ETS won't solve the heavy-industry loss of competitiveness that is the results of decade of statu quo

MS are playing a dangerous game. They should be reminded that they are the main recipients of ETS revenues, yet they allocate only around 5% to decarbonizing heavy industry — their own choice. Undermining the system’s credibility and predictability is in no one’s interest and will derail us from -55

Having the EPP ally with the far-right is, as Thu rightfully says, a culmination of already existing dynamics and should not come as a surprise. It was a matter of time. Now the Q° is, will this behaviour be limited to this Omnibus or is this the begining of full unraveling of the Green Deal?

Phuc-Vinh Nguyen @phuc-vinh.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Among the many consequences that will need to be monitored regarding the ETS2 postponement: - which legal vehicle/trick will the EC use (reopening the directive would be very dangerous) - will the SCF keep its €65bn enveloppe (I would argue yes) - many price scenarisation are now partly obsolete

Delaying ETS2 might be a pragmatic choice (elections in PL, FR and IT in 2027) but should be done under very strict conditions incl frontloading of revenues starting ASAP. In two weeks from now we will release our recommendations for a reform and timeframe on that matter so stay tuned!

Talking about simplification today, U. von der Leyen says that "we all agree, we need simplification, we need deregulation". Have I missed something? Because last time I checked, part of the coalition supporting her majority was not on board with a deregulation policy that distort Letta's report.

S'il convient de rester prudent, faute de plus de détails, les contours de l'accord USA-UE en matière énergétique laissent perplexes.

Cité par @awg-p.bsky.social dans @lemonde.fr, je rappelle une évidence : l’UE ne peut pas contraindre les entreprises à acheter du gaz américain. Elles iront là où c'est le moins cher tout simplement. Et l'accord n'étant pas contraignant juridiquement, les USA n'auront pas de moyens de coercition.

Last year, the EU imported ~€15B of US LNG, roughly 50bcm. If we triple that volume, we reach 150bcm which is what we used to get from Russia before the invasion of Ukraine. Still, this represents only €45B, compared to the $250 we're talking about. In addition, companies buy the gas, not the EU.

"France is teaming up with the EU’s climate laggards to decouple discussions on the bloc’s upcoming 2035 and 2040 climate targets". Frankly, given its recent stance on a regulatory break, on CSRD & CS3D, France can no longer be considered as a a climate gatekeeper and might join the laggards club.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

A horizontal bar chart titled "Percentage of Global fossil fuel emissions (since 1751) occurring in my lifetime." The chart shows how much of the total historical global fossil fuel emissions have occurred within the lifetime of individuals of different ages, from 5 to 100 years old. The vertical axis on the left lists ages in increments of 5 years, from age 5 at the top to age 100 at the bottom. The horizontal axis represents the percentage of fossil fuel emissions, marked in 10% increments from 10% to 90%.

The black bars represent the proportion of fossil fuel emissions that have occurred during each age group's lifetime. The bars increase in length as the age increases, meaning older individuals have lived through a larger percentage of the cumulative emissions since 1751.

Three specific age groups are highlighted with red bars and white text annotations:

Age 30: "if you are 30 it is more than 50%"

Age 50: "if you are 50 it is about 75%"

Age 85: "if you are 85 it is about 90%"

The source of the data is cited at the bottom: "CDIAC and globalcarbonproject.org." The graphic is credited to "@neilrkaye."
