The #FossilFreePolitics campaign will keep fighting for tobacco-style measures for the fossil fuel industry and will be supporting the numerous candidates campaigning for it towards June's elections and then in the new European Parliament .

“Turning to big oil & gas to decrease dependency on fossil fuels is like asking the tobacco industry for advice on how to stop smoking.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry urgently needs a tobacco-style lobby regulation.' Prof. Gilmore, Tobacco Control Research Group

The need to protect people's health from the harms of the tobacco industry led to the 2005 WHO FCTC, the tobacco equivalent of the Paris Agreement.
It includes a specific obligation to protect policy from the “vested interests of the tobacco industry”.

The EU response to the crisis put the fossil fuel industry interests over people & planet.

❌Watered down measures to make the fossil fuel industry pay

❌50 million+ in Europe facing energy poverty

❌Fossil fuel profits at record high

🚨 After the invasion of 🇺🇦 the European Commission turned to companies with an interest in maintaining the continent’s gas dependence, rather than independent experts, for advice on reducing dependency on Russian gas.

Last week the European Parliament narrowly voted against holding the fossil fuel industry responsible for the cost of living crisis.

It would have meant a call to regulate the fossil fuel lobby like tobacco. Instead Renew Europe ensured the industry's privileged access continues

⚠️The fossil fuel industry has been borrowing from the tobacco industry's playbook to shape the EU response to the cost of living crisis.

Professor Anna Gilmore explains why we need tobacco-style regulations for fossil fuels 🧵

#CCS ist eine fatale Weichenstellung für mehr #Öl , #Gas u. #Kohle . Und dass Öl- u. Gaskonzerne uns CCS als Lösung verkaufen wollen kein Wunder. Diese Investigativ-Recherche zeigt, wie das #CCUSForum , ein Gremium ohne Legitimation, die europ. Energiepolitik beeinflusst. #RealZero

Hinter dem #CCS Hype stehen Öl und Gaskonzerne die sich über das CCUS Forum privilegierten Zugang zur Gesetzgebung verschafft haben. Investigative Recherche von CEO corporateeurope.org/en/carboncoup

Brüsseler CCS-Politik in der Hand von Shell, Equinor und co?

⚠️ #CCUS Forum is an example of corporate capture where fossil fuel polluters get to steer energy regulation pushing for public funding for ineffective & dangerous #CCUS to continue burning #FossilFuels .

📢 Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) & ReCommon's new research exposes how a group with no legitimacy, the Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage ( #CCUS ) Forum has defined some of the EU’s key energy policies!

💣Should fossil fuel companies be shaping EU climate policy?

#CCUSForum : a group set up by eucommission filled with #FossilFuelPolluters writing the rules.

We urgently need #FossilFreePolitics !

New report by Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) & @recommon corporateeurope.org/en/carboncoup

Big Polluters are 4 years destroying lives in sacrifice zones. Risky CO2 pipelines, as the one owned by ExxonMobil which leaked recently. Ask Vessel Project & Texas Campaign for the Environment
Now, they plan 19.000km in Europe, why? as lifeline for the same fossil industry
Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO).org

Finanziamenti pubblici e politiche a sostegno di infrastrutture per #CCUS come il CCS di Ravenna di Snam e Eni sono soldi buttati al vento, che potrebbero essere spesi per una reale e giusta transizione dall'economia fossile ReCommon

'Carbon Coup shows how #FossilFuel industry push for #CCUS follows same pattern as #HydrogenHype and #LNGpush , create a ‘need’ for a huge market that will drive vast sums of money into inefficient projects, wasting time and budgets and creating stranded assets
Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO)

💰La carbon capture use and storage, #CCUS , e’ una tecnologia fallimentare. Ma perché continua a drenare milioni di euro in sussidi pubblici, nonostante decenni di progetti inefficaci?

🔴Uno dei motivi è che le più recenti politiche energetiche a livello europeo sono state…

The EU's climate agenda has been hijacked by the fossil fuel industry through #CCUS , funnelling public 💰 into 🫰 tech that serves as their escape plan, all on taxpayers' dime.
