Beyond excited about EP's strong call for a geothermal strategy!
⬇️Innargi’s @ahaugstrup points out how #geothermal #districtheating contributes to EU climate targets and strategic autonomy. Clean heating needs to be high on the next EU agenda!
@CleantechMEPs in action! MEPs @lidiafopereira and @JakopDalunde visited cutting edge innovators in Belgium driving Europe’s green transition and competitiveness from the semiconductors, aerospace and textile recycling sectors. Check out👇

This week, Cleantech Friendship Group members, MEPs @lidiafopereira & @JakopDalunde visited cutting edge innovators in Belgium, meeting companies that drive European competitiveness.
We discussed the experiences and insights of the CEO’s & teams, touching on topics like:

The EP’s ITRE Committee adopted its report on #geothermal energy today. An important step to #decarbonise how we heat our homes with clean district heating!
Bum! Energiudvalget har lige vedtaget rapporten om geotermisk energi. Grøn fjernvarme efter dansk forbillede er på vej ud i hele #Europa 💚🇩🇰 #eudk #dkpol #dkenergi #dkgreen #dkbiz

Op-ed alert! 📬Following the EP's ENVI Committee on the #NetZeroIndustryAct, we argue in @EURACTIV why industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) should be prioritised to truly “unavoidable” emissions: euractiv.com/section/energy-…
#EUGreenDeal #EUETS #CCS #CCUS #NZIA #NetZero
With 58% of EU citizens saying that the EU's transition to a green economy should be sped up (July 2023 Eurobarometer), we make a plea in @EURACTIV why the EU should set a #ClimateNeutrality target for 2040.

What we achieve in life, echoes in eternity! Yesterday we submitted our vision to the EU's #2040ClimateTarget consultation (link below). A 🧵 we think the EU should strive to reach #ClimateNeutrality/#NetZero GHG emissions by 2040: (1/5)

1. It is in line with the call by @UN Secretary General @antonioguterres from March 2023 to developed nations to commit as close as possible to reaching #NetZero by 2040: press.un.org/en/2023/sgsm217…

While many heavy industries target 2050 for climate neutrality, the IPCC and EU ETS tell us this is 10 years too late. Frontrunners from the cement industry acknowledge this acceleration in the newly launched ALCCC by targeting climate neutrality by 2040:

Much food for thought for moving forward! The time is right to repower the EU and decarbonise our heating sector. #Geothermal energy and #Districtheating will play a crucial role in an EU #geothermalstrategy for achieving this.
Thanks to @mortenhelveg, @SamirsAbboud, @ahaugstrup!
I samarbejde med #Innargi samlede jeg i aftes for første gang politikere, embedsfolk og industri for at skabe mere interesse omkring geotermi i #Bruxelles. Varme fra jordens indre har stort, grønt forsyningspotentiale - og vi skal have al grøn energi i spil! #dkgreen #eudk
Interview between @FD_Nieuws and cement cleantech @Ecocem on how the US #IRA is providing easier access to funding for breakthrough cement decarbonisation than the EU. A small thread: (1/4)

Bienvenue to @pcanfin!
We are proud to welcome MEP @PCanfin into the Cleantech Friendship Group!
His track record and experience as the chair of the ENVI Committee is a significant part of the #EUGreenDeal story! Also great to welcome our first French Member of the Group 🇫🇷🇪🇺

💡2023 is the EU year of skills! It inspired us to embark on an exciting new, radically human-centric HR approach: In 2023 we hire anyone that's exceptionally skilled in PA🧑🎓, whether we have the causes for it, or not (yet :-)👉check our LinkedIn for openings and get in touch 🙋♀️
Teamwork makes the (green) dream work!
Going to the European Commission's Job Fair today and don't know who to talk to? Come and say hi to my colleagues from @EUSustainable. They will explain you how we make sure that EU policy makers are in contact with sustainable frontrunners from all over Europe and beyond! 🇪🇺💬🗨️
