My colleagues* updated the Bruegel 'European Clean Tech Tracker' that contains a rich of recent and relevant data on clean technolgies. bruegel.org/dataset/europe… * Simone Tagliapietra Ben McWilliams Cecilia Trasi Ugne Keliauskaite

In the latest update to the Bruegel Clean Tech Tracker we have added data on grids, hydro and subsidies. All to be expanded over time. For grids, smart meters are key and deployment varies widely 👇 Simone Tagliapietra Cecilia Trasi Ugne Keliauskaite

1/9 Electricity market dynamics are changing, as I set out below in an op-ed for Euractiv. The essential point is that the state could become a major financial intermediary in the European electricity sector. Why, and what are the implications? 🧵 euractiv.com/section/electr…

Both Europe and the United States want to dominate clean tech. So where do both sides stand in this particular energy transition race? My thanks to Bruegel's Ben McWilliams for sharing his insights on today's show!

💸🚙Where Wealth meets Wheels EV adoption across Europe is correlated with country GDP. Cheaper EV models are essential for growing adoption and meeting targets - creating a hard trade-off when considering tariffs on Chinese EVs. bruegel.org/dataset/europe…

European electrification is strangely flat 👇

This letter from Prof Michael Grubb (Michael Grubb) is well worth a read on the five ways (at least) that markets are loaded against adequate action on climate change: 1) failure to (adequately) price CO2 2) capital mkt failure to appropriately price future 3) oil/gas

.Bruegel weekly EU gas import tracker: -decrease in LNG imports; -NO imports are up but expected to decrease due to maintenance shortly; -imports via Turkstream are increasing; -UA storage below 2023 level; -all EU countries have storage >70% capacity bruegel.org/dataset/europe…

SAVE THE DATE🗓️President von der Leyen pledged to launch a Clean Industrial Deal in the first 100 days of her new mandate. On Sept 18, we will discuss the potential shape of this initiative with Kurt Vandenberghe and others. Here the link to register👇 bruegel.org/event/forging-…

In Q2 2024, Russia overtook the USA in terms of gas imports for the first time since Q4 2022; Norway is the key source of gas imports to the EU Source: Bruegel based on ENTSOG, GIE and Bloomberg, via Georg Zachmann Ugne Keliauskaite Giovanni Sgaravatti Ben McWilliams

For the first time in two years, the EU is importing (slightly) more gas from Russia than the USA. The reversal occurred during Q2 2024. Driven more by a reduction in flexible US LNG imports than any serious increase in Russian flows. Source: bruegel.org/dataset/europe…

🔌The few hundred billion euro question of European Electricity Grids. Panel discussion now live Bruegel Annual Meetings

Electricity grids are transforming rapidly across Europe. Annually, the majority of EU countries now generate more than 50% of their electricity from clean sources. 📊 The graph below breaks this down by source 👇 data from Ember

The speed at which China is rolling out electric vehicles is truly remarkable compared with the EU and US. Source > bruegel.org/dataset/europe…
