🏛️ Buildings shape our economy & quality of life, but 75% in Europe are energy inefficient.

The EU’s #RenovationWave aims to upgrade them—making buildings efficient, climate-resilient & key to a #ClimateNeutralEU.

Buildings and construction

Buildings are homes, work places, schools, hospitals, shops, sports halls, transport terminals, where we all spend a significant part of our day. Their construction, maintenance and demolition present many challenges and some opportunities for climate change and the environment.

Industrial #CarbonManagement technologies are helping the EU 🇪🇺 to become the 1st carbon-neutral continent by 2050.

In focus: Industrial carbon management

Industrial carbon management (ICM) refers to a set of technologies, which involve the capture of CO2 emissions from industrial and energy production facilities, as well as the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, and then its transport, storage or use.

Novel waste heat recycling technology delivers energy savings to industry

Industrial processes produce vast amounts of heat. But when air or products need to cool down, this is typically vented to the environment as waste. Industry accounts for nearly a third of the EU’s energy consumption. With fuel prices and carbon costs rising, waste heat recovery systems offer significant economic savings and could dramatically reduce carbon emissions. In the EU-funded ETEKINA project, researchers focused on innovative heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHEs), systems that use arrays of sealed, fluid-filled tubes to recover heat from waste streams such as exhaust.

RT by @EUClimateAction: 🤝 Agreement on carbon removals certification

The Council and @europarl_en have reached a provisional deal on an EU-wide voluntary system to quantify, monitor and verify carbon removal activities.

Removals are crucial to achieve a #ClimateNeutralEU by 2050.

RT by @euenvironment: Deal 🤝

The Council and @europarl_en have agreed on targets to reduce CO2 emissions from trucks, buses and coaches.

By 2040, emissions should drop by 90%.
