-increasing vehicle fuel excise tax

-reforming vehicle taxation to encourage low-carbon vehicles

-increasing the use of public transportation

Buildings:

-reforming building code regulations concerning thermal insulation

-introducing financial support and incentives for use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. A particular focus is on refurbishment of existing buildings, replacement of boilers, enouraging highly energy-efficient homes

-orienting urban planning decisions to account for emissions reductions

Renewable energy:

-ficial incentives for electricity production from renewable energy sources

-supporting use of cogeneration and biomass - particularly wood biomass

-introducting biofuel into natural gas networks

-supporting research

Industry and electricity production:

-elaborating a National Allocation Plan for emissions, for the second commitment period of the EU Emissions trading scheme

-renewing voluntary agreements

-imporving energy efficiency in industry

Education and information:

-creating a centralised body for information dissemination, training, and consultation

-launching an information campaign (You control climate change)

Low Gas Storage and Diesel Shortages Threaten Europe’s Winter Supply

Tightening global supply of oil and gas is putting Europe on course for a difficult winter this year due to the continent’s significant dependence on energy imports, despite energy transition ambitions. Gas in storage is much lower than it should be, and a diesel crunch is threatening fuel oil supply security for the heating season. It could turn into a perfect storm. The first warning signs emerged as early as March, as the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran crippled Qatar’s LNG export infrastructure, forcing the Gulf state to declare…

Air-conditioning units are increasingly being considered as “essential infrastructure” as summer heat waves turn into a deadly and increasingly regular occurrence. But while air conditioning inarguably saves lives, in the short term, they are simultaneously contributing to global warming and distracting from other, more important approaches to managing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.…
