𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 has urged the 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐄𝐔) to prioritize stable policies and robust support for green energy and a circular economy. In their latest position paper, the Port emphasized the necessity of positioning ports strategically to ensure 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞's future sustainability. Against the backdrop of balancing the transition to a sustainable economy with maintaining prosperity, initiatives like Fit for 55 and REPowerEU aim to address these challenges. 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐣𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐂𝐄𝐎 of the 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐦 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, emphasized the importance of centering the energy transition and leveraging European ports for 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲. #portofrotterdamauthority, #EuropeanUnion ,#greenenergy , #circulareconomy ,#sustainablity ,#REPowerEU, #energytransition, #strategicautonomy NC : Offshore Energy

🔊 The 4th International Conference on Small Island Developing States #SIDS4, “Charting the course toward resilient prosperity" is approaching and will take place from 27 to 30 May in #AntiguaandBarbuda. The proposed ten-year UN plan puts focus on building #climateresilience and fostering the transition of SIDS towards diversified #green, #blue and #digital #economies. There is need for an international system that allows island businesses to participate in fair #supplychains and #leapfrog to innovative technologies and business models. The outcome document also highlights the importance of SIDS-SIDS and triangular cooperation #SSTC as a mean for enhanced implementation and accelerated progress. Therefore, the Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centres (GN-SEC), covering 35 of 39 SIDS, is a good platform to promote joint learning and exchanges on adapted clean energy solutions, including #renewables #energyefficiency #gridflexibility #storage #electricmobility #greenports. #SIDSGBN #SIDS4 UNIDO Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency for Central Africa (CEREEAC) SICA Centre for Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency #PCREEE Pacific Community-SPC #SIDSDOCK Watch our video: https://lnkd.in/dEh_hHXQ

As part of the deployment of its #CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy, a strategic axis of the company, comprising 3 pillars: ➡ Environment, ➡ People, ➡ Partnership, The éolane group involves its employees and continues to measure its greenhouse gas emissions. Its objective is to collectively control and limit its emissions to actively participate in the respect of the International Climate Agreements. After having completed it in China and launched it in Estonia, a "Carbon Assessment", based on the "Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)" accounting standard, will be generalized to all sites: ➡ In 2024: Saint-Agrève (EAST France Region), Combrée (CENTRE France Region), Douarnenez (WEST France Region), Berrechid and Temara (Morocco) ➡ In 2025: Angers (CENTRE France Region), Neuilly-en-Thelle and Valence (EAST France Region), and Berlin (Germany) This enables the group to identify the most emitting sources and positions and to develop a plan of actions to reduce these emissions and thus improve our practices. A "Climate Fresk" training is provided to members of the Executive Committees of the various éolane Regions as well as to the team members participating in the decarbonization project.   #CSR, Eolane China, 欧朗中国 Eolane China, éolane Tallinn, Eolane SysCom GmbH, #electronics, #eolanespirit

🌀 Can local ownership drive a green transition? 🔌 Islanders in Bornholm want to establish a locally owned windmill – an act for a sustainable future and to unite the island. We have interviewed 8 of them to explore the steps they took and the challenges they faced. "I think one lesson, among many, from the Bornholm Havvind case is that local involvement is important – but not enough to create change to a fossil-free sustainable energy system. As actors, we are always surrounded by enabling and hindering physical and social structures." - Elin Slätmo, author of the storymap. 💡 Read our full story and discover key takeaways for locally owned energy systems: https://lnkd.in/gniuDR4C

ACCIONA’s CEO for Australia and New Zealand, Bede Noonan, is featured today in the latest edition of the Lot Fourteen ’Boundless’ magazine.  Lot Fourteen is Adelaide’s premier hub for innovation and is home to ACCIONA in South Australia. "We are committed to decarbonising our business by pioneering trials, driving change and pushing progress," Bede said. "Just as importantly as meeting our own ambitious decarbonisation aims, we want to support the construction industry, South Australia and the nation to decarbonise as well." South Australia's power grid, with up to 95% renewable power, provides the ideal backdrop for our innovations. It's the perfect environment to work towards our goal of a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and to continue our pioneering use of #GreenHydrogen ACCIONA is proud to contribute to South Australia's sustainable future and look forward to continuing our journey of innovation and environmental stewardship.

🍀 In the wake of St. Patrick’s Day, Albina K. and Sophie O'Riordan, from the Enterprise Ireland Benelux team immersed themselves in another shade of green - the Clean Energy Summit in Brussels organised by European Business Summits. 🌍🌿 The summit addressed climate challenges, the global green energy transition, and promoted business and government collaboration for an inclusive transition towards a sustainable, secure energy future. ⚡ A wide range of topics were discussed including the #EuropeanGreenDeal, Global Clean Energy Expansion, the significance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in climate solutions, and the role of green hydrogen in Europe’s decarbonization goals. Notable speakers included Tinne Van der Straeten, Belgian Minister for Energy, Ann Mettler, Jan-Christoph Oetjen, and Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice President of the European Commission. 💡 Fueled by a culture of innovation, Irish firms are proactively addressing worldwide sustainability challenges. With the support of Enterprise Ireland, Ireland is emerging as an international cleantech hub. Contact Sophie O'Riordan if you would like to learn more about Enterprise Ireland’s #cleantech portfolio. #connectwithIrishinnovation #renewableenergy #greenenergy #event #europe #brussels 

A good day for Project Greensand and CCS in Europe.   Today, the EU Commission has announced the selection of innovative net-zero projects to receive grants from the EU Innovation Fund. Among the 85 selected projects is Project Greensand operated by INEOS Energy together with the license partners Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden.   Last year Project Greensand demonstrated as a worlds first that CO2 could be transported cross borders to be stored offshore to mitigate climate change. And recently the independent verifier DNV verified that CO2 can be stored safely in Greensand. The good news on Project Greensand being among the selected net-zero projects is a huge acknowledgement of the importance of CCS in general and of the work done by the partners behind Greensand.   The support from the Innovation Fund will be a valuable contribution to our work with Project Greensand and the fulfilment of the ambition to establish the first CO2-storage site within the EU by the end of 2025/start of 2026.

Transitioning to a greener economy isn't a one-size-fits-all process. Some regions face unique challenges like outdated infrastructure or a lack of skilled workers, making it harder for them to embrace sustainability. The latest data story dives deep into EU regions' journey towards environmentally friendly and competitive employment.

Poland is making significant strides towards a greener future with an ambitious goal to increase its renewable energy share to 56% by 2030, backed by a $205 billion investment plan. Climate Minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska unveiled this target as part of Poland's commitment to sustainability, aligning with the EU's climate objectives. This investment will not only drive Poland towards cleaner energy sources but also stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and position the country as a leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction 🌿🔌🌍 https://lnkd.in/eAxHzPKy #SolarPower #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendlyInnovation
