Trends and projections in Europe 2022. EEA.
This report shows that, despite increases in 2021, GHG emissions and energy consumption levels remained below the 2020 and 2019 targets, before COVID. The share of renewables is expected to have remained roughly at the 2020 level in 2021, meaning that renewables and energy production increased to the same extent as energy consumption over the […]

The Directive will oblige companies to regularly disclose information on their social and environmental impact. These new sustainability reporting requirements will apply to all large companies, whether listed on the stock markets or not, so for almost 50,000 companies in the EU, the collection and exchange of sustainability information will become the norm.
Pyrolysis: potential and possible applications of climate-friendly hydrogen production. Hydrogen Europe.
Hydrogen is an energy carrier that can pave the way to a climate-neutral society in all areas: industrial processes, mobility, in the centralized and decentralized heat supply of homes and as a storage medium. Hydrogen is therefore a fundamental component of the energy transition: not only is it burned without emissions, but it can also […]
Commission Decision 2022/2110 of 11 October 2022 laying down conclusions on best available techniques (BAT) for the ferrous metals processing industry.
Best Available Techniques (BAT) are the reference for establishing permits for installations, and authorities should set emission values that ensure that, under normal conditions, emissions do not exceed the emission levels associated with the best available techniques that are established. The BAT conclusions set out in this Decision contain the key BAT reference elements.
Guidance for setting goals based on forest, land and agriculture science. Science-Based Objectives Initiative (SBTi).
We must take ambitious climate action on a global scale and the land sector is crucial in this process, accounting for around 22% of net anthropogenic GHG emissions in tonnes ofCO2 equivalent. In terms of mitigation, the land-based sector could contribute up to 37% of the emission reductions and removals needed until 2030 and 20% […]
The low-carbon transition and its huge implications for structural transformation. United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
The challenges of increased exposure to climate change exacerbate the inevitable trade-offs between action on climate change and the realization of the right to sustainable development. In this context, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has long called for greater emphasis on productive capacity and green structural transformation, which remains relevant today.
