🇷🇴 Azomureș, Romania’s last #fertiliser plant, consumes 10% of national gas & is a major #CO₂ emitter. With €640M/year in projected carbon costs by 2050, conventional #ammonia is unsustainable.

EPG explores two decarbonisation paths: #blue vs #green ammonia.

#EU industry faces a critical transformation. A new EPG report, funded by @bellonaeu.bsky.social, shows how #GPP can support the shift to clean #steel and #cement in 12 #CEE countries, helping to decarbonise heavy industry and strengthen long-term competitiveness. 📖: rb.gy/6y6ud3

#CCUS is key for decarbonising heavy #industry in #Europe. Yet, deployment lags behind due to finance, regulation & public perception. How CCUS is framed matters: from heroes to conspiracies, narratives shape public trust.
