ZOE's @lukasbe.bsky.social on the pros and cons of #MadeinEU 👇

These tools carry both “big potential and big risks” and should be “targeted”.

If properly done, buy-EU clauses could “support local jobs” in sectors like battery production, green steel, or electric vehicles.

In our new opinion piece for @table.media we set out how the EU’s #simplification agenda risks costing a huge amount of political capital – all for little return.

Welcome to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread! 🧵 … and our first at @zoe-institute.bsky.social!

EU industrial policies continue to be key priorities, inc w/ Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework. How can we ensure an efficient & just industrial #Decarbonisation process?

Thanks, interesting! I wonder whether the combination of having to 1) submit (probably very comprehensive?) plans 2) find a partner country for joint procurement 3) buy European, will be too deterrent for MS to access loans (would be different for grants of course). Is that too pessimistic?

Bei @zoe-institute.bsky.social haben wir diesen Punkt mal visualisiert. Für die meisten Industrien greift ein Fokus auf Energiepreise (OpEX) in der Tat zu kurz und übersieht viele andere potenzielle Barrieren. Welche davon adressiert werden müssen variiert wie Philipp sagt von Branche zu Branche.

@table.media published our OpEd on how to support energy-intensive industry in Europe while avoiding inefficient subsidy races.

@ph-jaeg.bsky.social has a nice and short summary in his thread. ⬇️

How to keep energy intensive industry competitive and avoid inefficient subsidy races With the Clean Industrial Deal and the Affordable Energy Action Plan, the EU Commission wants to reduce energy prices in the short and long term - including through subsidies. This harbours risks.

With the #CleanIndustrialDeal and the Affordable Energy Action Plan, the #EuropeanCommission wants to reduce energy prices - including through subsidies. While this approach has merit, it bears substantial risks if executed poorly. Find out why 👉 www.delorscentre.eu/en/publicati... #CID

With the CID & Energy Action Plan, the EU wants to support energy intensive industries.

Support is needed - but it's crucial that any national subsidies to lower electricity prices don't result in inefficient distortions that end up harming competitiveness and climate.

Short🧵 on a new joint OpEd:

Of course, this is a long-term endeavour + politically very sensitive and should therefore be coordinated at EU level (see for example this proposal zoe-institut.de/wp-content/u...)

Developing energy-intensive industries in these regions can be a win-win because 1) can be macroeconomically efficient (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) and 2) generates jobs, technological upgrading,...

Can industry drive the EU's sustainability transformation by 2040?

Join our roundtable with Emmanuelle Maire, @lukasbe.bsky.social,Tomas Wyns & @simonohnen.bsky.social to discuss essential alternatives to conventional (green) growth as viable pathways.

Hat die europäische Aufbau- und Resilienzfazilität ihr Versprechen erfüllt? Eine Analyse von Lukas Betram und Lydia Korinek:

‘Building back better’: a promise fulfilled? Three years on, the lesson of the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund is that building economic resilience is a long-term endeavour.

The lesson of the 🇪🇺 post-pandemic recovery fund is that building economic resilience is possible, but it is a long-term endeavour. Interesting analysis and article by @lukasbe.bsky.social & Lydia Korinek
