I and colleagues have been calling out greenwashing and risks around hydrogen for heating for years and have received a torrent of abuse for it.

Good to see that the UK’s Competition & Markets Authority is now investigating misleading claims around “hydrogen blend ready boilers”.

keep an eye on this website

By the end of the year it's going to deliver the most powerful, complete (and free to use) tool to calculate the impacts of energy efficiency policies on the economy, jobs, energy independence, air quality and health, among others.

It comes with multiple-measures tool to input sofisticated plans taking into consideration transports, buildings, industry.

Also: it comes with a regional/municipal module wit pre-compiled data!

Nucleare: uno spettro che aleggia nelle stanze di Bruxelles

Grazie all'attivismo della Francia e di altri paesi, il nucleare è tornato di moda in Europa. Il rischio è che rallenti la crescita delle fonti rinnovabili.

the EU commission seems keen to sell the#Fitfor55 package as "job done".
But that's not true. Two pillars are missing: the revision of the Energy Taxation Directive and, maybe more importantly, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which is risking a stall tomorrow in the trilogue meeting.
If we do not decarbonise buildings, that account for more than 40% of the energy consumption, we can say goodbye to our climate ambition right from the start.

Hopefully, the next big climate victory

Caldaie a gas, la svolta tedesca mette in forte dubbio lo stop Ue dal 2029 | QualEnergia.it

Ad aprile scorso avevamo raccontato della proposta della Commissione europea che avrebbe portato a bandire le caldaie a gas dal 2029. A quel tempo, la Germania era tra i paesi favorevoli al bando come

Vi racconto una storia.

Di come il partito di estrema destra tedesca influira' su come tutti gli europei si riscalderanno nei prossimi decenni, sui vostri investimenti domestici, sulla nostra capacita' di europei di raggiungere o meno gli obiettivi climatici che ci siamo prefissati.

Il battito della farfalla tedesca (e il futuro delle caldaie a gas)

La Germania ha cambiato idea sulle direttive "ecodesign" e "case green" in discussione a Bruxelles. Le conseguenze si faranno sentire anche in Veneto.

For this reason (and for a number of other reasons that would require other posts) I hope the #fgas regulation will phase out the use of #fluorinated gas in heat pumps and prompt the market in this direction. this would favour, inter alia, the low-income households that are not in a position to renovate their homes right away.

Renovations (light+deep) are now around 1% yearly in the EU. We aim to raise this to 3% to achieve the 2030 climate target. But even in this positive scenario, we are far from the 5.5% turnover rate of the oil and gas boilers (considering a18y lifespan of these technologies).

This means there's 50% of the market that either will turn to gas or will need HTHP

(I leave here a dumb handmade chart)

When you deep-renovate your home you need to leave the premises and wait for a month or two until the works are over. Typically a once or twice-in-a-lifetime job.
This is if you have the money, the professionals, the mortgage, the availability of the materials..and the time (i.e. it's not January and your boiler did not just break)
