BREAKING: EU Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu says “We are not fighting fossil fuels, we are fighting the emissions from fossil fuels”

She is parroting oil&gas industry lines, pushing unproven costly technologies like CCS + CO2 removals to keep using fossil fuels.

Working with the #KickBigPollutersOut coalition, Fossil Free Politics has done some more digging at the EU level, and it's not pleasant reading - especially if you're 🇫🇷 French or 🇮🇹 Italian. Their governments have rolled out the red carpet once more for some of the planet's biggest climate criminals.

➕🚗🏭 new calculations show that if all new gas plants with CCS currently proposed by industry were to go ahead - even at a 90% capture rate - they could emit 2.4-5 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually, the same as adding 1.3-2.6 million petrol cars per year in the UK.
