🇪🇺 A united call for integrating carbon removals into the Clean Industrial Deal 📣Together with 44 organisations, Bioenergy Europe has addressed an open letter to President von der Leyen, Executive Vice-Presidents Ribera and Séjourné, and Commissioner Hoekstra. The letter calls on the European Commission to ensure the Clean Industrial Deal supports #investment, #innovation, and deployment in carbon dioxide removal (CDR), a cornerstone of Europe’s path to #climateneutrality. Our 4️⃣ key asks: • Streamline permitting processes to accelerate #CDR deployment. • Establish an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) for CDR to foster cross-border coordination. • Introduce competitive financial incentives to attract and retain CDR companies. • Invest in Workforce Development to support a growing CDR industry and ensure a just transition. CDR is critical to meeting net-zero targets. With the #CleanIndustrialDeal and Climate Law revision on the horizon, now is the time to ensure carbon removals are at the heart of Europe’s climate strategy. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/diruUjVq

🔥 #Bioenergy: The Reliable Heat Solution Europe Needs 🌿 PROBLEM: Relying solely on electricity for heating creates winter challenges: ❄️ Limited energy from weather-dependent sources when demand peaks. 💡 Costly and complex grid expansions risking reliability. SOLUTION : #SustainableBioenergy 🌍 Stored solar power available 24/7, year-round. 🌱 Complements electricity, reducing grid pressure. 🇪🇺 95.7% sourced within the EU, supporting energy independence. ♻️ Highly efficient when used in combined heat and power plants. 🛠️ Backed by 75% EU-based equipment suppliers, driving local innovation. CONCLUSION: Bioenergy secures Europe’s energy future, protects the grid, and champions EU-made technologies. 🌐 Learn more about how bioenergy powers energy security in Europe 👉 Discover more here https://lnkd.in/dC9_ca4m #EnergySecurity #Bioenergy #RenewableEnergy #SustainableHeating #ItsPossible #AlwaysThere

📈Accelerating EU Transport #Decarbonisation 🚗💨 🚛 In his contribution to Bioenergy Europe's #LandscapeReport2024 Craig Winneker, Director of Communications of ePURE: European renewable ethanol association, stresses the importance of #ethanol to decarbonise transport in the EU without sacrificing the sector’s #competitiveness. 🎤 To meet climate goals faster, the EU must embrace #renewablefuels like ethanol. Mario Draghi's report urges a pragmatic, tech-neutral approach, highlighting ethanol's potential for 90% GHG savings and immediate impact alongside EVs. 🌍 As the EU develops its definition of #CO2neutral fuels, it must ensure that all ethanol compliant with the #RenewableEnergyDirective is included. This will accelerate #emissionsreductions, maintain affordable mobility, and enhance competitiveness. Will policymakers act? 🖱️Stay tuned for the full text! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eJ9c5mU7

🌲Warm Wishes from Bioenergy Europe! 📆 2024 has been a full and inspiring year for #bioenergy, marked by progress, #innovation, and #collaboration. As we look ahead, we remain committed to driving #cleanenergy solutions and building a sustainable future together. Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday season, and a successful new year! 🌟

🌍 Regulatory Stability: A Foundation for #RenewableInvestment Stable regulations are vital to fostering economic growth and encouraging #investment in #renewables like #bioenergy. However, frequent revisions, such as changes to REDIII #sustainability criteria, have increased risks and uncertainty for the sector. 🔑 Bioenergy Europe calls on the European Commission to: 1️⃣ Explicitly address the bioenergy sector within the #CleanIndustrialDeal to enhance EU industrial #competitiveness while driving the transition to #netzero. 2️⃣ Ensure #regulatorystability by not reopening #REDIII Biomass Sustainability Criteria in the next EU mandate. 3️⃣ Implement REDIII pragmatically, minimizing red tape and considering local conditions for cascading and roundwood rules. 💡 Explore our proposals for ensuring regulatory stability and driving renewable investments in our Policy Paper: https://bit.ly/49wwXfL Video message from Bioenergy Europe President Christoph Pfemeter from Austrian Biomass Association ABA #CleanIndustry #Itspossible
