❗Equinor fined €60 million over pollution & long-term maintenance failures.

Bellona & the Norwegian Environment Agency filed this case to Økokrim in 2020,now representing the largest penalty in the history of Norway’s petroleum sector.

Our founder Frederic Hauge was quoted in @financialtimes.com👇

Today, EU Environment ministers finally agreed on their position on the 2040 90% #climatetarget & the 2035 NDC.

But it has been significantly watered down.

At Bellona, we’re concerned that the proposed ETS State Aid Guideline changes would expand subsidies for fossil-based power instead of driving #decarbonisation.

❕This risks diverting #ETS revenues away from #climateaction and could delay progress on measures like the #CBAM.

#Cement builds our world, but it also emits 4% of the EU’s CO₂.

Our 🆕 report breaks down how we can decarbonise this crucial sector to reach #climateneutrality by 2050.

Thanks to those that joined the Q&A with Dr. Marco Sirotti, author of the report!

Journalists👋 join us tomorrow for a Q&A with our Embodied Carbon expert Dr. Marco Sirotti on our new report about decarbonising #cement.

Cement makes up 4% of total EU CO₂ emissions, yet is one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.

🚧A forgotten sector that can reduce #emissions & make cities healthier?

#Construction machinery is a huge GHG emissions source in Europe, while pumping harmful pollution straight into the lungs of workers & residents.

Read @irenedguez.bsky.social's op-ed in Revolve: revolve.media/opinions/the...

💶 Money talks. The #EUTaxonomy was meant to guide investments toward sustainable activities, but in its current form, it risks becoming a #greenwashing tool.

🚫 Unabated fossil gas is not and cannot be considered a sustainable economic activity.

In 2024, momentum for Carbon Capture & Storage in Europe reached new heights. In 2025, can we build on this momentum?😳

“This is a make-or-break moment for industrial decarbonisation. We can’t afford to let #CCS fall by the wayside, not in 2025, nor the decade ahead.”

🔧 #DYK that steel production contributes to 5% of the EU’s total CO₂ emissions?

Steel is essential in our society and in technologies needed for the #greentransition. Yet, its production is indeed a major source of emissions.
