💡 How can we decarbonise carbon-intensive industries like #cement?

Our Embodied Carbon Advisor, Dr. Marco Sirotti shared his thoughts at Industry Link's CarbonZero 2025 event.

At Bellona, we’re concerned that the proposed ETS State Aid Guideline changes would expand subsidies for fossil-based power instead of driving #decarbonisation.

❕This risks diverting #ETS revenues away from #climateaction and could delay progress on measures like the #CBAM.

Stefano Porciello @steporciello.bsky.social · 9d

The European Commission is considering a massive increase of the energy intensive sectors eligible for reimbursement of the CO2 cost embedded in their electricity bill, an internal policy document obtained by Euractiv shows.

🏭🍃Takeaways from the Baltic Carbon Forum!

Clara spoke on Nordic industrial #decarbonisation & public perception, while Janis highlighted #CCS as a scalable #climatesolution for hard-to-abate industries.

Collaboration & knowledge sharing remain key to accelerate CCS deployment across the region.

🚨 Good news from Latvia: the ban on CO₂ storage has been lifted!

Today the Latvian Parliament approved key amendments to the Law on Pollution, ending the ban on geological CO₂ storage.

#Cement builds our world, but it also emits 4% of the EU’s CO₂.

Our 🆕 report breaks down how we can decarbonise this crucial sector to reach #climateneutrality by 2050.

Thanks to those that joined the Q&A with Dr. Marco Sirotti, author of the report!

"We must ground our decisions in science, not hype - asking what’s realistic, what’s needed, and what works now." said @jonashelseth.bsky.social 🏭🌍

Europe’s industrial #decarbonisation journey depends on action grounded in #science, infrastructure & collaboration.

Bellona Europa @bellonaeu.bsky.social · 19d

💬“CCS, hydrogen, and other technologies are not goals in themselves - they are tools to reach net-zero industry.”

Our Director @jonashelseth.bsky.social shared insights on how Europe can lead the clean industrial transformation at the 4th Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit.
