Good sign for 🇩🇪 investment location. Northvolt greenlights multi-billion project for a battery cell manufacturing facility Germany, thereby dismissing plans to shift production to US. New state aid guidelines seem to work better than expected :) #TCTF bmwk.de/Redaktion/EN/P…

#Recycling 'end-of-life' solar panels, wind turbines and batteries not only a huge market opportunity but also key for securing strategic autonomy and resilience in a #NetZero economy cnb.cx/44XeEh1

The EU rapporteur Nicolás González Casares for the electricity market design reform plans to establish price caps for renewables (wind, solar) as structural tool to offset periods off high prices. This could turn out as major blow to the EU renewables market if it goes through like that

The effects of energy & climate policy sometimes are difficult to grasp for households and businesses alike. @strategicEU has "translated" what the EU #GreenDeal actually means for consumers, the economy & the environment - with quite encouraging results👇strategicperspectives.eu/wp-content/upl…

The future will be more solar than you think☀️ JUST OUT from International Energy Agency on manufacturing: 🟢SOLAR: Massive pipeline rise in last months, enough in planning to exceed 2030 NZE 🟡BATTERIES: Looking good 🔴WIND: Biggest manufacturing gap of all clean tech iea.org/reports/the-st…

The EU invests 3.6bn € for 41 large-scale projects as part of the #InnovationFund. Funding focus on #hydrogen & derivatives (~2/3 of projects), followed by #CCS (6), #batteries (4), #PV manufacturing (3), floating #offshore. Geographic focus on 🇪🇸, 🇩🇪 ec.europa.eu/commission/pre…

EU climate chief @TimmermansEU is leaving the European Commission, to run for leadership of a Greens/Labour party coalition in the Dutch elections, de Volkskrant reports 👇👇

People say solar panels don't produce carbon emissions, but they do. And now, a major new investigation by Environmental Progress, drawing on the research of Enrico Mariutti , finds that solar panels made in China produce at least 3x more carbon emissions than IPCC claims.

To ensure a fully decarbonized power grid by 2035, the recent update of the German #hydrogen strategy defined the power sector as new major demand vector. Now, it is looking to subsidize ~9GW of distributed H2 peaker plants + 15GW of H2 ready CCGTs bmwk.de/Redaktion/EN/P…

New study by @StiftungKlima captures policy toolkit for de-risking critical EU value chains like #solar #wind #electrolyzers. Key instruments: - make funding conditional to social and environmental standards -OPEX funding to level playing field with China stiftung-klima.de/app/uploads/20…

Wir haben uns angeschaut, ob die Regierung ihren energie-und klimapolitischen Plänen aus dem Koalitionsvertrag Folge geleistet hat. Tatsächlich sieht es bei der Stromwende nicht schlecht aus. Die Umsetzungslücken sind in anderen Bereichen deutlich ausgeprägter. Mehr dazu morgen…

Teil 2 unserer #Halbzeitbilanz der Bundesregierung. Wir bleiben beim Thema #Klima und #Energie. Heute geht es um das Rückgrat der Energiewirtschaft: #Strommarktdesign und grüner #Wasserstoff. Was wurde bislang aus dem #Koalitionsvertrag von 2021 umgesetzt? Was fehlt? 👇

Impressive figure by @systemiq: The annual (!) #coal demand exceeds the cumulative demand of energy transition materials like #steel, #copper or #lithium that would be needed for the entire transformation in the next 20-30 years.

Germany's new industrial strategy is geared towards protecting domestic value chains, leveling the playing field with China through: - trade defence instruments (anti-dumping/subsidy) - non-price criteria benefitting "local content" in public auctions bmwk.de/Redaktion/DE/P…

As replacement for phased-out coal fleet, 🇩🇪plans to publish its Power Plant Strategy before the end of year. Key components: -24GW #H2-based power generation cap. by 2035 -CAPEX +OPEX subsidy (up to 10.000h,max. 1.000h/y) for cost delta between natgas & H2 -1st auctions in 2024
