The objective of European Technology Platforms (ETP) is to develop and implement a common vision for the development of a certain sector or technology area. This includes the drafting of a comprehensive long-term programme for research and technological development in the area of the technology platform. Where the Commission shares the view that an area has adequate potential and that a technology platform would provide European added value for the development of the sector concerned, the Commission supports…

        National Energy and Climate Change Plan

        Romania has updated its National Energy and Climate Change Plan, aiming for net zero emissions by 2045 and targeting 38% renewable energy consumption by 2030. The plan includes developing wind, solar, and biomass energy, expanding nuclear capacity with new small modular reactors, and decommissioning coal-fired power plants by 2032. Additionally, Romania is investing in battery energy storage systems to support its renewable energy goals.

        Carbon Sequestration Regional Partnerships

        Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships (RCSPs) help develop the technology, infrastructure, and regulations to implement large-scale CO2 sequestration in different regions and geologic formations in the US. Local organizations and citizens contribute expertise, experience, and perspectives that represent the concerns and desires of a given region, resulting in the development and application of technologies suited to that region. Seven RCSPs represent regions encompassing 97% of coal-fired and industrial CO2 emissions

        German Climate Action Programme - National Fuel Emission Allowance Trading Act (BEHG)

        …Companies trading in heating oil, natural gas, petrol and diesel are required to acquire pollution rights in the form of emission certificates. When a company places for example heating oil, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, coal, petrol or diesel on the market, it will need one certificate for every tonne of CO2 that will eventually be emitted by the products they place on the market. In this way, the Federal Government aims to incentivise the switch towards more sustainable heating and transportation, by rewarding low-carbon companies and penalising polluting ones.  The federal and state governments set the CO2 price…

The Federal Mining Act draws a distinction between so-called “bergfreie” (the economically most important mineable resources like, e.g., coal, gas, oil and geothermal energy) and “grundeigene” mineable resources. Bergfrei means that the property right of the piece of land does not include the proprietary right concerning the listed mineable resources. Therefore, the right to explore and extract those mineable resources firstly has to be transferred through a kind of…
