🌍 On 2 July 2025, the EU will propose its 2040 climate target—potentially using international carbon credits under Article 6.

Our new #PolicyBrief outlines key conditions to ensure any such use strengthens, not weakens, EU climate action.

Sicily is so hot that the region has just issued an ordinance to suspend various types of agricultural and construction activities on hot days to avoid accidents at work. Essentially these activities will be off at 12:30-16:00pm until 31/8.

But let’s talk again how expensive climate mitigation is..

Oooof. Those direct air capture machines built by Climeworks in Iceland, to pull carbon dioxide out of the air? Turns out ... they have generated more CO2 than they have captured.
Climeworks’ capture fails to cover its own emissions
The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – wh...

I always thought that industry had limited electrification potential.

How wrong I was:

Once I looked into it in more detail I found that the potential is huge. 90% of industrial process heat could be electrified in Europe by 2035.

That is what analysis for @agoraind.bsky.social says.
