Nominations for the Ruggero Bertani European Geothermal Innovation Award are open until 03 January 2025!

An internal Commission document, seen by Euractiv, says that the paper would be a “broad policy reflection" to "inform a possible European reform towards a fully integrated internal market for electricity."

European industrial companies pay 2 to 3 times more for electricity than their American counterparts. Europe and the Commission must turn this liability into an asset.

Europe needs low-carbon hydrogen, but there’s also a push to develop renewable gases and to incentivise the right infrastructure. Energy resilience requires all options to be on the table.

The European Commission is preparing technical specifications for a study to develop a measurement framework for the energy efficiency of general-purpose AI models. Data centres' share of global energy consumption is expected to grow to 7% by 2030.

Phasing out gas and reaching an 80 per cent share of renewable energy by 2037 could cut Europe’s gas dependency by 2040 at a time when the United States is looking to export more LNG.

Countries agree to triple global climate financing until 2035, but EU criticises lack of agreement on concrete climate action.

Draft rules proposed by the European Commission propose postponing until 1 July 2028 a decision on whether nuclear energy-derived hydrogen can be eligible for the 'low-carbon' label.
