What is Russia’s invasion all about? Sorry, I think that is the wrong question. In my experience, bullies act out of weakness and fear. And it is clear to me that Putin is acting as a bully. So, I believe the real question is, “What is Putin afraid of?” If you look for answers to […]

Reward Renewable Energy Efficiency: The energy efficiency of charging electric vehicles with renewable electricity must be rewarded in the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive. With 1 megajoule (MJ) of renewable electricity, EVs do 3.2 times more transport work and deliver 5.4 times more GHG reductions than delivering a MJ of RED II compliant bioethanol to a […]

Green Trucking: By May 2023, hauliers operating zero-emissions trucks must be given discounts of at least 50% on road tolls. EU member states have until 2023 to implement a new system of road tolls which give big incentives for zero-emissions trucks after MEPs voted to adopt new legislation today. Transport & Environment (T&E) hailed the […]

EU policies to clean up shipping will lead to replacement of conventional marine fuels with fossil liquid natural gas (LNG), with little benefit to the climate. A quarter of Europe’s shipping will be fossil gas-powered by 2030 as misguided EU sustainability targets encourage an uptake of LNG, a new Transport & Environment study shows. This will […]

Some EU governments want to slow down the introduction of standards that would ensure batteries are low carbon, made with ethically sourced metals, and are fully recycled at the end of their life. As Europe and the rest of the world continues to reduce its use of fossil fuels on the path to net zero, […]
