Green measures would reduce the shipping industry’s exposure to fuel price shocks in future, says T&E. €4.6 billion in additional fuel costs since the start of the conflict The cost gap between fossil fuels and e-fuels has narrowed. Efficiency measures, like wind propulsion, slow steaming or electrification, will further protect … [continued]
The current crisis is costing shipping millions per day, highlighting why we must accelerate the sector’s decarbonisation. The Hormuz Strait crisis is costing the shipping industry €340 million a day, demonstrating the industry’s vulnerability to oil and gas price volatility. Green measures would reduce the shipping industry’s exposure to fuel … [continued]
T&E’s response to the European Commission consultation. T&E welcomes the revision of Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (Governance Regulation) as a key opportunity for shaping the EU’s post-2030 climate and energy architecture. The 2018 Regulation has played an important role in coordinating Member State planning and monitoring progress … [continued]
Today’s challenges demand a new European investment plan. Dear President von der Leyen, Dear President Costa, Europe faces a historic moment. The scale of the economic, geopolitical, climate and technological challenges before us cannot be met with incremental adjustments or national solutions alone. They require European-level fiscal and financial capacity … [continued]
As EU Environment Ministers meet to discuss electric vehicle targets, new research shows EVs are the best way to protect drivers from oil shocks. The EU spent €67 bn on oil imports for cars last year Accelerating the roll-out of EVs would cut oil imports by €45bn over the next … [continued]
Europeans will pay a high ‘geopolitical premium’ as oil passes $100 a barrel. In late February 2026, the United States and Israel carried out extensive coordinated strikes on Iran, prompting Iran to retaliate with drone and missile attacks against targets in Israel and several other countries in the surrounding region. … [continued]
T&E and partner NGOs have published guidance on the Performance Regulation — a key law shaping how climate and environmental spending will be tracked in the next EU budget. The ‘technical reference document’ was developed together with WWF, CEE Bankwatch Network, ClientEarth, CAN Europe, HEAL and the European Environmental Bureau, … [continued]
Why EU type approval is the missing lever to make every EV a grid asset. In 2024, T&E highlighted the potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), and bi-directional charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs are ‘Batteries on Wheels’, delivering flexibility benefits for the electricity grid, supporting the integration of more renewables, and delivering … [continued]
An evidence based assessment of key barriers to Onboard Carbon Capture and Storage, and its potential for maritime decarbonisation. As shipyard orderbooks are full of fossil-powered vessels, and uncertainty remains about the speed of green fuels uptake, the shipping industry is also looking at a wide range of alternative solutions. … [continued]
Electric cars already have no tailpipe emissions, but even cleaner EVs — built with low-carbon steel, aluminium and batteries, and in a way that minimises harm to people, communities and the environment — are now within reach, according to a new ranking of the world’s largest carmakers. Crucially, this progress … [continued]
