Beyond excited about EP's strong call for a geothermal strategy!
⬇️Innargi’s @ahaugstrup points out how #geothermal#districtheating contributes to EU climate targets and strategic autonomy. Clean heating needs to be high on the next EU agenda!
This week, Cleantech Friendship Group members, MEPs @lidiafopereira & @JakopDalunde visited cutting edge innovators in Belgium, meeting companies that drive European competitiveness.
We discussed the experiences and insights of the CEO’s & teams, touching on topics like:
🧵1/6
The EP’s ITRE Committee adopted its report on #geothermal energy today. An important step to #decarbonise how we heat our homes with clean district heating!
Bum! Energiudvalget har lige vedtaget rapporten om geotermisk energi. Grøn fjernvarme efter dansk forbillede er på vej ud i hele #Europa 💚🇩🇰 #eudk#dkpol#dkenergi#dkgreen#dkbiz
"50% of all energy we use in Europe is for heating and cooling." Samir Abboud, CEO, Innargi on why he thinks this is going to be the decade of geothermal. #BloombergTech

Incredible source of renewable energy we all walk on #geothermal.
Its time to properly harness its potential. For Europe's prosperity. For the Planet. For our future.

With 58% of EU citizens saying that the EU's transition to a green economy should be sped up (July 2023 Eurobarometer), we make a plea in @EURACTIV why the EU should set a #ClimateNeutrality target for 2040.

5. You will find more details in our 5-page vision paper. Of course, a target is not realistic without a credible pathway. We therefore also give our vision on what should be achieved under the key EU policies that we focus on in our six practices:

What we achieve in life, echoes in eternity! Yesterday we submitted our vision to the EU's #2040ClimateTarget consultation (link below). A 🧵 we think the EU should strive to reach #ClimateNeutrality/#NetZero GHG emissions by 2040: (1/5)

4. The current EU energy and climate policy framework already foresees that almost half of EU emissions, covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (#EUETS), reaches #ClimateNeutrality by around 2040. So we are not starting from scratch (4/5) #Fitfor55
The Net-Zero Industry Act (#NZIA) should help achieve the EU’s #FitFor55 targets and accelerate emission reductions – so it’s disappointing to see the proposed report by the European Parliament’s ITRE Rapporteur remove any reference to 2030. This is bad for the #EUGreenDeal (1/4)
.@Tesla ‘s Jos Dings explaining to MEP Vitanov, Beatriz Yordi & others that Tesla’s new semi-truck reaches 800 km range in real-world conditions, more than truck drivers are allowed to drive in 1 day. In other words: Electric long-distance HDVs are here today. #AFIR#ETS2#EUETS
