Nordics Manager Clara Axblad & Baltics Manager Jānis Volberts networking at the Baltic Carbon Forum in Tallinn

🏭🍃Takeaways from the Baltic Carbon Forum!

Clara spoke on Nordic industrial #decarbonisation & public perception, while Janis highlighted #CCS as a scalable #climatesolution for hard-to-abate industries.

Collaboration & knowledge sharing remain key to accelerate CCS deployment across the region.

Latvian Parliament Lifts Ban on CO₂ Storage in Geological Formations  - Bellona EU For years, Latvia’s significant potential for permanent CO₂ storage both onshore and offshore has offered a promising solution for industrial decarbonisation and reducing emissions to the atmosphere1....

🚨 Good news from Latvia: the ban on CO₂ storage has been lifted!

Today the Latvian Parliament approved key amendments to the Law on Pollution, ending the ban on geological CO₂ storage.

Read why we've been advocating for this progress & why it's a major step: eu.bellona.org/2025/10/09/l... #CCS

From the analysis, one key lever for emissions reduction stood out.💡 Hint: it’s all about using less to achieve more.

#Cement builds our world, but it also emits 4% of the EU’s CO₂.

Our 🆕 report breaks down how we can decarbonise this crucial sector to reach #climateneutrality by 2050.

Thanks to those that joined the Q&A with Dr. Marco Sirotti, author of the report!

Our new report "Net-Zero Pathways for European Cement" launches tomorrow at 12:00.

Want an early look? DM us for the embargoed report before the Q&A. 📝

Journalists👋 join us tomorrow for a Q&A with our Embodied Carbon expert Dr. Marco Sirotti on our new report about decarbonising #cement.

Cement makes up 4% of total EU CO₂ emissions, yet is one of the hardest-to-abate sectors.

"We must ground our decisions in science, not hype - asking what’s realistic, what’s needed, and what works now." said @jonashelseth.bsky.social 🏭🌍

Europe’s industrial #decarbonisation journey depends on action grounded in #science, infrastructure & collaboration.

💬“CCS, hydrogen, and other technologies are not goals in themselves - they are tools to reach net-zero industry.”

Our Director @jonashelseth.bsky.social shared insights on how Europe can lead the clean industrial transformation at the 4th Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit.

🎬 And with that, we wrap up the #CleanTechEU thread! Thank you for joining us and be sure to follow us for future updates.

Don’t miss out as @carbongap.bsky.social leads the next Hub #CleanTechEU thread on Wednesday, October 8th.

⚡ Indirect emissions must be included in CBAM. Default: country grid average. Lower footprint? Only via verified renewable PPAs or direct connections, with strict correlation & additionality criteria.

Read our full response here: eu.bellona.org/publication/...

Weakening rules risks loopholes & undermines climate integrity.

📦 Default values for #CBAM goods must reflect the highest-emission production route, not an average. Without preference for actual emissions, low-carbon producers abroad lose incentives.

💡 #CBAM must drive global decarbonisation, not just protect EU industry. Bellona Europa calls for methodologies that incentivise lower #emissions abroad, covering both direct & indirect emissions across all sectors.

🚫Mass balancing, book & claim, or carbon credits must not reduce CBAM obligations.

Welcome back to the bi-weekly #CleanTechEU thread!🧵

Bellona has been working hard to find solutions to get the #CBAM right for the #climate & EU industry. In this thread, we will share the main points of our consultation response on the CBAM.

⚠ Yesterday, #EU environment ministers agreed on a weak statement of intent, setting a 2035 emissions reduction range of 66.25-72.5%.

But, it should reflect the full range of ambition, including a 2035 target of 79% reductions.

Statement from the Coalition for Higher Ambition urging to agree on an ambitious EU 2040 domestic emissions reduction target and NDC - Bellona EU Ahead of the September ENV Council (18th) and ENVI Committee vote (23rd), the Coalition for Higher Ambition, an alliance of European business, major city networks and regional governments and civil so...

⏰ This week EU Environment Ministers should have been deciding on the #2040Target, but some governments have now secured further delays!

Citizens, local authorities & businesses are calling on Europe to deliver ambition, not water it down.

🚧A forgotten sector that can reduce #emissions & make cities healthier?

#Construction machinery is a huge GHG emissions source in Europe, while pumping harmful pollution straight into the lungs of workers & residents.

How could CDR interact with the EU ETS? - Bellona EU Executive Summary As the European Union moves towards its legally binding 2050 climate neutrality target, Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) has a limited yet essential role to play in reaching these obliga...

🌎 How could carbon removals interact with the #EUETS?

Safeguards are essential to ensure that emission reductions remain at the core of the EU’s carbon market, while leveraging climate benefits of #removals.

🚫 Expanding Indirect Cost Compensation (ICC) to more sectors? Not before reforming their current design. Bellona’s take:

ICC is needed, but it should only cover spillover carbon costs on non-emitting electricity.

🔉Bellona Europa worries that overlooking Europe’s #climate commitments could jeopardise both climate leadership & industrial #competitiveness.

Today, President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu delivered the #SOTEU address to the @europarl.europa.eu. Read our full reaction:

Bellona Europa worries that overlooking Europe’s climate commitments could jeopardise both climate leadership & industrial competitiveness.

Tomorrow, the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social will rule on Austria’s appeal against the inclusion of gas & nuclear in the EU’s sustainable investment #taxonomy.

🎥Let’s hope tomorrow’s ruling moves us closer to a truly #sustainable future!

YouTube video by Bellona Europa Court of Justice ruling: Inclusion of gas in the EU Taxonomy?

💶 Money talks. The #EUTaxonomy was meant to guide investments toward sustainable activities, but in its current form, it risks becoming a #greenwashing tool.

🚫 Unabated fossil gas is not and cannot be considered a sustainable economic activity.
