Joint debate on Energy and Hydrogen: MEPs debate (Part 1)

Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in a future climate-neutral economy, enabling emission-free transport, heating and industrial processes as well as inter-seasonal energy storage. Renewable hydrogen can sustainably contribute to achieving climate neutrality in the EU in the long term. This infoclip illustrates an Hydrogen Hybrid Power Plant in Prenzlau, Brandenburg, the exploitation of Hydrogen trucks in Belgium and hydrogen trains in Germany.

This video stockshot provides examples of EU-financed projects in the Climate and Energy sectors. Promoting clean energy and fighting climate change are key priorities for the EU. The featured projects in Greece, the Netherlands, Austria, France, Sweden, Finland and Germany are funded by different EU instruments such as Horizon 2020, the European Regional Development Fund and the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the heart of the Juncker Plan.

The EU energy label is key to boosting the energy efficiency of everyday electric appliances like lighting, heating, fridges, freezers, televisions and many more products. A rescaled energy label will be introduced gradually from 1 March 2021 to have a simpler classification using only letters from A to G. The first set of new energy labels will include fridges, dishwashers, washing machines and televisions. This stockshot provides illustration images of the old and new generation of labels in home and commercial settings, as well as an interview. For information and education purpose only. No commercial use allowed.

Members of the Regional Development Committee (REGI) approved the establishment of the Just Transition Fund (JTF) with 27 votes in favour, 7 against and 8 abstentions during a vote in the European Parliament in Brussels. MEPs request a significant increase in the budget allocated from the 2021-2027 financial framework (from EUR 11 270 459 000 in current prices to EUR 25 358 532 750 in 2018 prices, also referred to as the “principle amount”). This amount would be supplemented with an additional EUR 32 803 000 000 in current prices, as proposed under the EU Recovery Instrument. Statements by Manolis KEFALOGIANNIS (EPP, EL), rapporteur, and Younous OMARJEE (GUE/NGL, FR), REGI Chair.
