📝 In February 2024, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament reached a provisional deal on the regulation establishing a framework of measures for strengthening Europe’s net-zero technology products manufacturing ecosystem, better known as the ‘Net-Zero Industry Act’ (#NZIA). The regulation aims at boosting the industrial deployment of net-zero technologies needed to achieve EU’s climate goals, using the strength of the single market to reinforce Europe’s leadership in industrial green technologies.

Global investment in clean energy reached $1.8tn in 2023, but only a fraction was allocated to energy efficiency measures – despite it presenting immediate and cost-effective solutions for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By prioritising investments in energy-saving technologies, ARK Invest Europe aim to address the urgent need for climate action. #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #PensionsforPurpose https://ow.ly/jaTf50TrMsm

The comprehensive plan comprises 81 measures across 18 lines of work, to be implemented in two stages. The initial phase, spanning from 2023 to 2026, focuses on establishing conditions for industry development, defining environmental and social standards. Subsequently, from 2026 to 2030, efforts will concentrate on territorial planning, regulations, local development, citizen participation, and human capital preparation for green hydrogen advancement.

As we mark the end of the United Nations Decade of Sustainable Energy for All, 2014-2024, at #UNGASustainabilityWeek tomorrow we must raise ambition to accelerate action towards attaining #SDG7 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by catalysing innovative solutions, investments and multi-stakeholder partnerships. Further voluntary commitments, including Energy Compacts, will be encouraged in support of closing the #energy gap, rapidly transitioning to decarbonized energy systems, addressing energy’s interlinkages, and strengthening partnerships and the means of implementation.

The European Parliament officially approved the new college of EU Commissioners. On behalf of GIE, we would like to wish you the warmest congratulations to President Ursula von der Leyen and her entire team. As the European Commission embarks on this important journey, we look forward to collaborating on key priorities that are essential for Europe’s sustainable and secure energy future: ⚡ Ensuring security of energy supply: Keeping our industries running and households warm is critical for stability and resilience. 🌍 Accelerating the decarbonisation pathway: Promoting renewable and low-carbon molecules alongside electrification to achieve climate neutrality. 🔗 Advancing sector coupling: Optimizing energy systems, reducing costs, and fostering synergies between electrons and molecules for an integrated and efficient energy transition. We are especially eager to engage with the new Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen, on these vital topics. His leadership will be pivotal in addressing Europe's energy challenges, and we’re ready to contribute to making the Green Deal a lasting success. Let’s shape Europe’s energy future—together. 💪 #EuropeanCommission #EnergySecurity #Decarbonization #SectorCoupling #EnergyTransition #EuropeanUnion

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global #investments in #cleanenergy in 2023 rose nearly 40% compared to 2020 and #renewable capacity increase in 2023 was the largest ever, reaching more than 440 GW. At the same time, progress in #energyefficiency, being the single most important #policy to avoid energy #demand in the #netzero scenario, encountered a set back and fell below the long-term upward trend to 1.3% compared to 2% in 2022. Despite some progress, a lot more needs to be done to reach European Union (EU) and global #climate goals. Since 2011, the European Energy Efficiency Fund (eeef) has been supporting #EU’s climate #goals and promoting clean energy investments by leveraging #private and #public #funds into energy efficiency, #renewableenergy and clean urban #transport measures in the EU Member States. Increasing accessibility to capital and suitable financial instruments, combined with necessary technical assistance, is key for the success of improved energy efficiency in the Member States. And this is what #eeef can provide. Giorgio Chiarion CasoniChairman of the Board of Directors Director, InvestEU and financial institutions European Commission

The confirmation hearings for incoming members of the European Commission will start next week - on 4 November 📅 What can we expect from the Commissioners-designate in terms of energy and climate policies? 🤔 COGEN Europe has been reading through the written answers that the candidates have submitted to the European Parliament ⬇️ The Commissioner-designate for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen from Denmark, promises to develop a strategic approach to heating and cooling which will contribute to making energy more affordable, whilst also recognising that "decarbonising heating and cooling will require diverse solutions to meet different circumstances" – including district heating. Mr Jørgensen acknowledges that the energy system of the future must integrate various elements, namely "electricity and heat supply, hydrogen, flexibility, energy efficiency and end-use sectors". He believes that Europe must "make better use of all cheap clean energy in the system, in particular renewable energy, and improve the efficiency of the energy system as a whole". Teresa Ribera Rodríguez from Spain has been designated as Executive Vice-President for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition. She intends to work with the incoming Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné from France, on the development and implementation of a Clean Industrial Deal. This will include an Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act that will "support the development, production and diffusion of European clean tech in industry", and also "speed up planning, tendering and permitting processes, in particular for the transition of energy-intensive industries". The Commissioner-designate for Climate, Net-Zero and Clean Growth is Wopke Hoekstra from the Netherlands. He has promised to propose a 90% net emission-reduction target for 2040 in the framework of the European Climate Law, and insists that securing competitiveness and a just transition will be key elements for achieving this target. He is also committed to driving forward a European Climate Adaptation Plan, and to reviewing both the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). COGEN Europe expects the next European Commission to deliver on the EU Green Deal targets, while securing industrial competitiveness and supporting the development of a more efficient, resilient, integrated, decentralised and decarbonised European energy system that makes the best use of all available energy sources and solutions! #EnergyEfficiency #EUGreenDeal #Efficiency4NetZero   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ COGEN Europe’s Policy Priorities for the next five years (2024-2029) are set out in our publication: 'The Role of Cogeneration in Europe’s Energy Transition - Enabling an Efficient Pathway to #NetZero'.
