The @europarl.europa.eu has just adopted its position on the EU 2040 #climate target
November 13, 2025 at 10:07 AM
The 🇩🇰 presidency of the Council is suggesting a range of 66.3%-72.5% for the temporary nationally determined contribution (#NDC) of the EU, "without prejudice to the final agreement of the EU's 2040 climate target". The issue will be discussed tomorrow by Coreper I
September 15, 2025 at 2:55 PM
In the new draft compromise on the 2040 #climate target, the 3% international carbon credits contributing to the target is now under brackets (which emphasizes that this point is still under discussion), as well as the 2036 date
September 9, 2025 at 3:37 PM
It seems that the European Commission intends to extend the #hydrogen bank to electrolytic low carbon hydrogen 👀
July 31, 2025 at 11:40 AM
It's confirmed. The legislative proposal on the 2040 #climate target is foreseen on the 2nd of July. The #MFF package is spread over two weeks
June 4, 2025 at 7:11 AM
The European Commission is consulting Member States and MEPs to secure a ‘substantial majority’ on the #climate2040 target before submitting its legislative proposal. This process is delaying the presentation of the text. Still no sign of the target in the institution's latest provisional agenda

Still no sign of the legislative proposal on the EU 2040 #climate target in the latest indicative agenda of the European Commission
March 31, 2025 at 1:51 PM
The amendment of the EU #Climate Law to include the 2040 climate target is now foreseen for Q1 2025 in the 2025 Commission working programme (instead of Q2 2025 in the draft version)
February 12, 2025 at 8:32 AM
The Communication states that "the Commission will also put forward the 2025 #nuclear illustrative programme, indicating nuclear energy production targets, and will table a strategic plan for the European industrial alliance on small modular reactors" #SMRs
February 10, 2025 at 11:15 AM
A new version of the leaked Commission work programme 2025 is circulating. No major change compared to the previous version as regards #energy and #climate policies (1/2)
February 10, 2025 at 11:14 AM
In a new draft version of the #Competitiveness
Compass which will be presented today, the #electrification action plan is now foreseen for Q1 2026, alongside a Grids Package. The text also mentions the upcoming EU 2040 climate target (which was missing in the previous version) but not -90%
January 29, 2025 at 10:12 AM
The EU #Competitiveness Compass is now planned is now planned for January 29, according to the latest draft agenda obtained by @contexte.com

🇩🇪 and 🇦🇹 refused to approve the conclusions because of this sentence, which refers to both funds devoted to boosting the competitiveness and clean technologies. For them, this sentence would have opened the door to EU funding for nuclear, which they categorically oppose
November 29, 2024 at 11:36 AM
Today is #Competitiveness Council day. The Member States ministers will adopt conclusions on the future of the EU competitiveness. Might also be an opportunity for them to say more about what they expect from the clean #industrial deal which will be presented under the Commission first 100 days
November 28, 2024 at 7:48 AM
According to the provisional agenda, the European Commission plans to present its communication on the EU's 2040 #climate target on 6 February

Net zero industry act: the new draft compromise of the EU Council Presidency is in @contexte.com. Main changes are about injection of CO2 (article 18, #CCS) and chapter on access to market (articles 19 and 20). It will be discussed by Coreper today. The objective is to reach an agreement on 7/12

Net zero industry act: New draft compromise from the Spanish Council presidency adds #nuclear fission to the list of strategic technologies. However, it also includes a new provision related to the access to EU funds. Will it be enough to counvince 🇩🇪 to accept nuclear in the strategic list? #NZIA
November 9, 2023 at 2:51 PM
Net zero industry act: The 🇳🇱 made a proposal to introduce "Ecosystems for net zero acceleration" in order to speed up the manufacturing projects of net zero technologies + an area-based approach for CO2-storage projects #NZIA More soon in @contexte.com
