Can you guess what sector consumes the most energy in the EU?
It is buildings 🏠🏨🏫🏢.
Decarbonising the EU’s building stock will help reduce emissions and increase #EnergySecurity.

This is a must-read challenge to the "batteries consume sooo many minerals". Will they? Will they really? Or will chemistry, energy density and recycling mean this concern is rather overblown?

Happy Friday to all the reply guys saying how renewables are a terrible idea.
I hate to break it to you but >80% of new generation capacity built is now renewable energy, mainly solar and wind.
See the trend? Coal (black) and fossil gas (grey) getting squeezed more and more.
A century of male-dominated planning has resulted in streets shaped for one purpose: the commute to paid work.
Only when cities start taking into account the other unpaid “care trips” taken by residents do they become more inclusive and gender equitable.

"I do understand the anxiety of the consumers who are waiting for their electricity bill."
EU Commissioner for Energy @KadriSimson talks the European energy crisis and what can be done about it.
💬@ivoschmidt@Energy4Europe👉"The 55%📉of emissions is not only necessary but also feasible to lead Europe on the path to climate neutrality.
The🆕#EUGreenDeal package is a comprehensive package including all sectors; it is a blueprint for economic and societal transformation."
💬I. Schmidt @Energy4Europe👉Izzivi in priložnosti za 🇸🇮 v okviru 🌿#EUGreenDeal🌱
🟢Prihranki energije, obseg prenove, izkoristek #NOO
🟢Obnovljivi viri energije,📉odvisnosti od uvoza, delovna mesta, čist zrak
🟢Modernizacija industrije
🟢Elektrifikacija prometa in ind. napredek
🌿#EUGreenDeal🌱Cel dan že govorimo o🆕 sveženju ukrepov za uresničitev podnebni ambicij 🇪🇺 do 2030. Ampak, kaj za gospodarstvo pomeni v praksi?
📌Pridružite se nam jutri, 15.7., ob 9h, ko bomo temo podrobneje razdelali s @cer_slo & sogovorniki.👇

In a joint MEP-CEO letter to @vonderleyen & @TimmermansEU, @Shell urged the @EU_Commission to accelerate #renewable energy use in the industrial sector. Shell advocates for a higher renewable 2030 target & a sectoral renewable mandate for industry in #RenewableEnergyDirective.1/2
🆕 Batteries are a product of the future!
We need them to power electric 🚙 & store renewable ⚡️
But we have to get their 👣 right!
With our proposal for sustainable batteries we’ll address their full life-cycle for the 1st time & gear up for the Sustainable Products Initiative!
Part II of my hydrogen deep dive: the demand side. TLDR: Hydrogen will play a vital role as chemical feedstock, including for shipping and aviation fuels, and as guarantor of resilience in a renewables-based power system. EVERYTHING else goes electric.

#Methane hotspots can be seen from space🌍! At least by satellites like Sentinel-5P. This map shows what we want to fix with #MethaneStrategy! Technology to facilitate the strategy already exists thanks to #EU🇪🇺long-term investments in satellite programs. #Copernicus#Horizon2020
