🌍1/7 🔥New Research! 🔥

💣'Carbon Coup”, our new report with @recommon shows that EU's most recent key energy policies are being written by fossil fuel polluters like Equinor, TotalEnergies, Shell and Snam through the ‘ #CCUSForum ’.

Congratulations and huge thank you to Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) & ReCommon for unmasking the fossil fuel industry's influence in shaping the EU's #CCS agenda via the #CCUSForum . Cannot say often enough: Carbon Management is a code word for climate inaction and new fossil fuel subsidies.

#CCS ist eine fatale Weichenstellung für mehr #Öl , #Gas u. #Kohle . Und dass Öl- u. Gaskonzerne uns CCS als Lösung verkaufen wollen kein Wunder. Diese Investigativ-Recherche zeigt, wie das #CCUSForum , ein Gremium ohne Legitimation, die europ. Energiepolitik beeinflusst. #RealZero

💰La carbon capture use and storage, #CCUS , e’ una tecnologia fallimentare. Ma perché continua a drenare milioni di euro in sussidi pubblici, nonostante decenni di progetti inefficaci?

🔴Uno dei motivi è che le più recenti politiche energetiche a livello europeo sono state…

'Carbon Coup shows how #FossilFuel industry push for #CCUS follows same pattern as #HydrogenHype and #LNGpush , create a ‘need’ for a huge market that will drive vast sums of money into inefficient projects, wasting time and budgets and creating stranded assets

💣Should fossil fuel companies be shaping EU climate policy?

#CCUSForum : a group set up by eucommission filled with #FossilFuelPolluters writing the rules.

We urgently need #FossilFreePolitics !

1/ 5 🔥Should fossil fuel companies be determining climate action?

Read our new joint report with @recommon 'Carbon Coup” & find out how the #CCUSForum , a group with no legitimacy & packed with #FossilFuelIndustry influences EU’s key energy policy.

And yet, just last week, by endorsing the Carbon Removal Certification Framework #CRCF , the European Parliament policymakers have regrettably chosen to support a path towards more climate disaster & corporate profits 🤑 over people 🤸‍♀️.

'The #CRCF makes a dangerous step towards allowing polluters in the agriculture sector to hide their emissions behind temporary carbon storage in soils & focus narrowly on technical efficiency gains to reduce emissions.' — IATP Europe

📢 Il parlamento Parlamento 🇪🇺 approva soluzioni tecniche per la rimozione della CO2 che non aiutano la lotta ai cambiamenti climatici, ma aiutano le aziende fossili come #ENI e #SNAM .

😡 Un pessimo segnale, criticato dalla società civile.

Comparing trees to simple carbon pumps results in forestry practices that actually destroy #forests .

To reach its climate targets, the #EU needs to both reduce emissions & restore its forests, but the newly approved #CRCF will help us do neither!

Yesterday, European Parliament approved Carbon Removal Certification Framework #CRCF

By giving credibility to #falsesolutions , the legislation will delay ambitious #climateaction at a time when the EU is not on track to meet its 2030 climate target.

🇪🇺 Yesterday, the European Parliament approved the Carbon Removal Certification Framework.

By giving credibility to #FalseClimateSolutions , the #CRCF will delay the real action that needs to be taken: phasing out fossil fuels.
