👏 We welcome the adoption of the report on the Net-Zero Industry Act (#NZIA) by the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy #ITRE. #Energyefficiency technologies are an inseparable part of #NZIA & significant for EU #competitiveness.

Can you understand the end of this §? "Whilst the technologies used to integrate green hydrogen into a carbon-free energy system are already available, innovation is needed for the scale-up, demonstration, and deployment of hydrogen-based systems in order to take advantage of European technological leadership." Page 27

Looking forward to Day 2 of the EEI Global Electrification Forum in Washington. Great to be joining global energy leaders to discuss a sustainable transition to a low carbon energy system and share our vision for how NZ can grow to zero: leveraging NZs already exceptionally low carbon system to attract business and investors and grow our economy as we track to net zero 2050. #growtozero #sustainableenergy

🎥The latest video of “GenEERAtion net-zero: The road travelled, the path forward” shifts the focus to our 👥 Executive Committee and its role in steering EERA’s strategic approach. The video sees EERA’s newly elected President, Henk-Jan Vink, delve into the beneficial work of the alliance in both ensuring a systemic perspective when addressing the energy transition and engaging in high-level discussions with policymakers to 🔗 translate and coordinate policies at national and European levels. Watch the clip below to learn more about why 🔎 research institutes active in low-carbon energy should join our ever-growing expert community. 

📢One year of #IRA, how can the #EuropeanGreenDeal upscale #EU #investments in #cleantech?     Today Dr. Bernd Weber and MEP Markus Pieper write on EURACTIV about accelerating European investments in cleantech.🧼    🏭🟢The #IRA’s first 90 days were already enough for the #US to overtake the #EU as the second place in producing cleantech. Meanwhile, European investments in #renewables halved in 2023. Brussels still has the potential to ramp up domestic production of cleantech by building on the successes of the #EUGreenDeal 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/dXqh7Jk2     📑 How to establish a #BusinessCase for #green #Industrial #competitiveness?

The Clean Tech Economy Coalition (CTEC) was launched in 2021 to drive Illinois towards its climate and energy goals and build new, inclusive economies around clean energy technologies. Originally developed for the EDA's Build Back Better Regional Challenge, CTEC continues to grow in momentum and impact, having secured over $62M in funding to-date to drive key projects statewide.

EC Commissioner for Energy Kadri Simson opens the 3rd #EUCCUSForum in #aalborg. 'An impressive progress has been made since the 2nd CCUS Forum in Oslo last year. CCS has been chosen by the EC as a integral part of clean technologies to decarbonize EU industry and reach Net Zero targets in 2050. The Net Zero Industrial Carbon Management Strategy is in the making and should be approved at the beginning of 2024. Main points include: 🤝 We need to share experiences in implementing projects. Knowledge of pioneering projects save costs, and help following projects to become viable. For this, the EC will establish an industrial knowledge sharing hub, including pioneering projects as well as new ones that want to join. 🙌 JRC will support the transport infrastructure component by modelling how the CCS infrastructure network could evolve up to 2050. 🏛 Last year the industry requested a legislative framework for CCUS. The EC will initiate work with its standardization bodies to regulate CO2 streams. 🔎 As early as 2024, The EC, in cooperation with the EU Parliament, will set up a CCS observatory, to report and verify CO2 capture in plants in Europe, starting with cement and waste to energy.' #ccus #ccusforum #europeancommission #europeanunion #commissioner #energy #netzero2050 #nzia #industrialcarbonmanagement #strategy #knowledge #projects #CCStransport #network #infrastructure #regulations #legislativeframework #observatory

Last week’s SMET session at PDAC underlined the key issues that we all need to address in order to meet our net-zero goals.   One of the greatest stumbling blocks to achieving those goals is a lack of investment.   Let’s think outside the box as to how we can secure key capital for projects. We need diversified business models, alternative funding mechanisms and increased collaboration across the private and public sector if we are to catalyse the energy transition. This is part of our philosophy at Eurasian Resources Group and what forms our approach to dealing with stakeholders across the full range of international frameworks and partnerships that we helped to establish, nurture, or facilitate.   There is much work to do - and we can all play a part. Governments worldwide need to implement policies to provide direct funding. Platforms like SMET need to raise awareness and support the energy transition by promoting policy dialogue, supporting investment mobilisation, and accelerating innovation focused on enhanced transparency and innovative partnerships.   Let's stay engaged and work together to navigate these challenges!    #EnergyTransition #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #CriticalMinerals

🌍🔋✨ For all those interested in Energy Efficiency, we recommend the 2nd edition of #EuropeanEnergyEfficiencyDay, taking place next thursday in a hybrid format (online and in Brussels) – a high-level conference that brings together politicians, entrepreneurs and civil society organizations to discuss "energy efficiency as an economically viable and socially fair decarbonization solution to achieve the European Green Deal." 👉 For information and registrations, visit: https://lnkd.in/eaRyGFpB 🌱🔍 #EnergyEfficiency #GreenDeal #EuropeanGreenDeal
