Decarbonising industry is critical to EU climate targets and to our economic competitiveness and autonomy. Our new report shows exciting momentum in industrial #cleantech, but also critical policy gaps: materialeconomics.com/public… (1/8)

🌱Biomass is scarce and valuable. EU policymakers & business leaders must revisit their plans & ensure future use is sustainable and economically viable. Register for our webinar with @MaterialEcon on February 9th to discuss a necessary course correction. eventbrite.co.uk/e/255949290…

A ‘high-value’ scenario constructed on the principles of lower and more specialized biomass use compares extremely favourably compared to a ‘current trajectory’ scenario. #BioResources #CircularEconomy #EU #Renewables materialeconomics.com/public…
The rapid development of renewable energy, falling battery costs, and prospects for much lower-cost green hydrogen jointly mean that bioenergy looks much less attractive across major energy uses. materialeconomics.com/public… #BioResources #CircularEconomy #EU #Renewables

To bridge the biomass demand-supply gap would require some 30 million hectares of land, equivalent to 20% of all current EU cropland. materialeconomics.com/public… #BioResources #CircularEconomy #EU #Renewables
Current climate scenarios risk over-reliance on biomass, claiming 50-100% more than is available. Read more in our new report: materialeconomics.com/latest… #BioResources #CircularEconomy #EU #Renewables

Renewable #hydrogen has great benefits to decarbonise difficult sectors & to manage a renewables-based #electricity⚡️system. Congratulations for launching the #RenewableHydrogen Coalition gathering Wind Europe, SolarPower Europe and Breakthrough Energy. #EUHydrogenWeek

Steel, cement and chemical industries account for 14% of EU’s annual emissions. Our new study explores how they can reach #netzero by 2050 through a more circular and materials efficient economy, new low-CO2 processes, and CCS/CCU. Read the report here: materialeconomics.com/public…

Steel, cement and chemical industries account for 14% of EU’s annual emissions -but they can reach #netzero by 2050 according to this new report. Find out how we can get there: bit.ly/2VjH8kk #EU2050 #ClimateNeutralEU #AimForZero @MaterialEcon @IES_brussels @VUBrussel
Making better use of the materials that already exist in the economy can take EU industry halfway towards net-zero emissions | @MaterialEcon @SitraFund @ClimateKIC @ETC_energy @MavaFdn @ClimateWorks European Climate Foundation sitra.fi/en/publications/cir…
Circular economy opportunities could reduce EU industrial emissions by almost 300 Mt CO2 per year by 2050, with attractive economics. Have a look at our latest report, launched in Brussels last week at the CEPS Low Carbon Economy Forum 2018. bit.ly/CEReport2018

New study finds switch to the circular use of steel, plastics, aluminum and cement is central to cutting global greenhouse gas emissions bit.ly/2HrumFh A more circular economy in the EU and around the world is vital to meet the goals of the #ParisAgreement
