This study focuses on the clean energy technologies (CET) defined as strategic in the proposed Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and considers their strategic importance. The study looks at each technology chosen in the NZIA (and other less strategic but relevant technologies) and uses desk research...

In more recent years, the European Commission has placed much focus on the supply chain risks of clean energy technologies (CET). The subject's first direct assessment came as a result of the Joint Research Centre's (JRC) Critical Raw Materials studies, from 2016 onwards, which has received its...

The European Union's GHG reduction target of 55% by 2030, and the climate neutrality objective by 2050 enshrined in the European Climate Law will require the deployment of all low carbon technologies and solutions. All credible scenario modelling shows that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will...

Energy sharing is the activity of administratively attributing renewable energy to consumers, where the renewable energy asset is controlled by those consumers in a shared role as a non-professional or non-profit producer. The main objective of energy sharing is to give all consumers access to...
