The proposed EU regulation creating a Social Climate Fund is meant to help EU citizens meet the social and economic costs of the climate and energy transitions. It was adopted by the Commission on 14 July 2021 as part of the 'fit for 55' legislative package. Under the 'fit for 55' package, the Commission proposed extending the Emissions Trading Directive to the buildings and road transport sectors, where the pace of decarbonisation has been insufficient to meet EU decarbonisation objectives. The Social Climate Fund would help address any social impacts that arise from the new system, with the twin objectives of supporting vulnerable households and micro-enterprises adopt clean mobility solutions and renovate their homes while also potentially granting them temporary direct income support . Vulnerable households, micro-enterprises and transport users are likely to be disproportionally affected by the increase in the price for fossil fuels. Low-income households tend to spend a larger part of their incomes on energy and transport and in some regions lack access to alternative, affordable mobility and transport solutions. The funding of the future Social Climate Fund will come from a dedicated share (25%) of revenues from the auctioning of emissions allowances under the new system. The Commission's current proposal would allocate a total of EUR 72.2 billion (in current prices) to the Fund over the 2025-2032 period, which would be complemented by an equal contribution from Member States.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
