SUMMARY:Nuclear energy and gas in the EU Taxonomy
DESCRIPTION:The EU Taxonomy was introduced in 2020 as a reporting tool. The declared goal of Taxonomy is to direct the flow of private capital to finance transition towards climate neutrality. It is a flagship project of the sustainable finance strategy adopted by the European Commission as a part of the European Green Deal. \nThe Taxonomy\, being a product of the regulation – not of market participants – became a label provoking political tensions. Using this label to describe economic activities became a matter of principle\, rather than a market instrument. The illustration of this phenomenon is the political debate about qualifying gas and nuclear energy as “sustainable” activities under the Taxonomy. \nBy July 2022\, the European Parliament formally reacted to the Complementary Delegated Act (CDA) which\, under some conditions\, qualifies gas and the nuclear energy as “green” activities. \nThe panelists explored the subject-matter along those guiding questions: \n\nHow the geopolitical situation affects the role of gas and nuclear energy in the climate transition?\nHow the CDA will affect the access to finance for gas and nuclear energy projects?\nIs there an impact on renewables?\n\nAgenda    ERCST Slides

SUMMARY:Hydrogen and the RED Delegated Acts
DESCRIPTION:On May 20th the European Commission published two delegated acts which are essential to complete the definition of RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) and hence to determine the role renewable hydrogen will play in EU decarbonization. In concrete: \n\nDelegated act on the methodology setting out the rules for the production of RFNBOs.\nDelegated act on the methodology to assess the GHG emissions of RFNBOs and recycled carbon fuels.\n\nThe deadline to provide feedback to the proposals was opened until June 17th . \nWe therefore gathered a small group of experts to discuss the proposals from different angles and perspectives. We also assessed whether the delegated acts are coherent with the proposed regulatory framework in the Fit for 55 proposals and the Repower EU plan. \nThe meeting started with a presentation by ERCST where we presented our views on the topic and was followed by the contribution of three icebreakers and a substantive discussion with attendees. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides    EUROFER Slides    Slides Additionality    ERCST Publication
