A European economy based on integrated energy markets and sustainable transport
The EU’s transport and energy sectors are in the midst of a critical transition towards climate neutrality. Following the publication of the European Green Deal, the European Commission has presented a broad range of legislative initiatives with the aim to decarbonize both sectors by 2050.
With measures including the expansion of carbon pricing, the introduction of legislation in hard-to-abate sectors and the reinforcement of existing energy policies, EU policymakers are proactively shaping the legislative framework for the future. In addition, the new complex geopolitical situation is already accelerating the green agenda in order to meet the growing need for energy independency, new, clean energy sources and to break away from fossil fuels.
In this challenging context, where coordinated measures from the EU Member States is more important than ever, businesses need to be able to adapt and respond to the changing environment. Dr2 Consultants’ Transport & Energy practice can help you navigate the EU maze, anticipate on opportunities and challenges deriving from the EU’s legislative framework, and support you in the transition towards a new sustainable economy.
How will the EU legislation related to transport and energy impact your business?
Following the publication of the European Green Deal, the European Commission has presented various legislative packages, including the ‘Fit for 55’ package (read more in our blog post), the ‘Efficient & Green Mobility’ package and the ‘Hydrogen and Decarbonized Gas Market’ package, which set the prerequisites for the net-zero goals for the transport and energy sectors and are expected to dominate the policy agenda of the EU institutions for the years ahead.
These landmark publications are expected to impact business operations in a wide array of industries in various ways, triggering innovation and reinforcing the EU’s leadership on climate adaptation on a global scale, for example by:
Accelerating the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure across the EU
Increasing the share of renewable energies in the transport sector
Extending the EU Emissions Trading System to cut back emissions in maritime shipping and road transport
Boosting a modal shift in freight and passenger transport to rail transport and inland waterways
Advancing the production and import of renewable hydrogen in order to diversify the EU’s energy supplies
Supporting 100 EU cities to spearhead the transition in becoming climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030
In this transformation towards a new sustainable economy, an open dialogue between the EU institutions and industry is of vital importance to ensure compatibility between sectors, kickstart emerging techniques and guarantee a fair and just transition. As such, your solutions can be instrumental to ensure future-proof legislation.
