The EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act aims at supporting sustainable investment by making it clearer which economic activities most contribute to meeting the EU's environmental objectives. It defines an actual list of environmentally sustainable activities through technical screening criteria.

There are six environmental objectives established: climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, the transition to a circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

The Commission also proposes a new European Green Bond Standard, which will create standards for bonds financing sustainable investment. The Commission also adopted a Delegated Act on the information to be disclosed by financial and non-financial companies, based on article 8 of the EU Taxonomy. The latter was adopted on 6 July 2021 by the Commissions, for scrutiny by the colegislators. The delegated act specificies the content, methodology and presentation of information to be disclosed by the financial and non-financial undertakings concerning the proportion of environmentally sustainable economic activities in their business, investments or lending activities.

The Taxonomy Regulation was published on EU Official Journal on 22 June 2020 and entered into force on 12 July 2020.

On 2 February 2022, the College of Commissioners reached a political agreement on the updated content of the Taxonomy Complementary Climate Delegated Act. The document will be formally adopted as soon as the translations in all the EU languages will be available.

The newer Complementary Climate Delegated Act introduces stricter conditions for gas and nuclear activities that are eligible for private investments in the context of the transition of the energy system. Gas projects need to contribute to climate neutrality transition, whereas nuclear projects need to respect environmental and safety standards. Additional transparency requirements were added too.

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

Nuclear power is growing in popularity once again as governments worldwide look to diversify their energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Several countries are now looking to develop or expand their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades. However, one challenge remains – nuclear waste. Disposing of waste materials from nuclear energy operations remains a complex task with no perfect solution. As countries worldwide have grown their nuclear power capacity, many governments are still struggling to decide on the best solution…

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…
