Decarbonising industry is critical to EU climate targets and to our economic competitiveness and autonomy. Our new report shows exciting momentum in industrial #cleantech, but also critical policy gaps: https://t.co/77oM4eAMFE (1/8)
🌱Biomass is scarce and valuable. EU policymakers & business leaders must revisit their plans & ensure future use is sustainable and economically viable.
Register for our webinar with @MaterialEcon on February 9th to discuss a necessary course correction.

A ‘high-value’ scenario constructed on the principles of lower and more specialized biomass use compares extremely favourably compared to a ‘current trajectory’ scenario. #BioResources#CircularEconomy#EU#Renewables

The rapid development of renewable energy, falling battery costs, and prospects for much lower-cost green hydrogen jointly mean that bioenergy looks much less attractive across major energy uses. https://t.co/X6d35RHeeQ

To bridge the biomass demand-supply gap would require some 30 million hectares of land, equivalent to 20% of all current EU cropland. https://t.co/X6d35RHeeQ #BioResources#CircularEconomy#EU#Renewables
Current climate scenarios risk over-reliance on biomass, claiming 50-100% more than is available. Read more in our new report: https://t.co/UN3D3VTnPv #BioResources#CircularEconomy#EU#Renewables
Renewable #hydrogen has great benefits to decarbonise difficult sectors & to manage a renewables-based #electricity⚡️system.
Congratulations for launching the #RenewableHydrogen Coalition gathering Wind Europe, SolarPower Europe and Breakthrough Energy. #EUHydrogenWeek

Steel, cement and chemical industries account for 14% of EU’s annual emissions. Our new study explores how they can reach #netzero by 2050 through a more circular and materials efficient economy, new low-CO2 processes, and CCS/CCU. Read the report here: https://t.co/EKd9ASQ2n5

Circular economy opportunities could reduce EU industrial emissions by almost 300 Mt CO2 per year by 2050, with attractive economics. Have a look at our latest report, launched in Brussels last week at the CEPS Low Carbon Economy Forum 2018. https://t.co/ZPbETP7o6C
New study finds switch to the circular use of steel, plastics, aluminum and cement is central to cutting global greenhouse gas emissions https://t.co/YIzUTDVs0y A more circular economy in the EU and around the world is vital to meet the goals of the #ParisAgreement
