Green, safe, cheap: Where next for EU energy policy?

Report by Katinka Barysch, Stephen Tindale, 09 September 2011

Is the EU's policy on renewables damaging the single market? Why do Europeans not use energy more efficiently? Is the EU's gas policy too obsessed with Russia?
Thorium: How to save Europe's nuclear revival

Policy brief by Stephen Tindale, 15 June 2011

The EU should continue to support nuclear power. Existing technologies should generally be used. But thorium liquid fuel reactors – which cannot melt down – should be an exception.
Carbon capture and storage: EU advancing, but not fast enough

TGAE report, Report by Stephen Tindale, 03 June 2011

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential low-carbon bridge technology, to be used in the several decades it will take before Europe can be totally reliant on renewable energy.
Delivering energy savings and efficiency

Policy brief by Stephen Tindale, 19 January 2011

The EU should not waste its time arguing about whether to make its energy efficiency targets binding. Instead, it should focus on practical steps to improve energy efficiency.
The EU should be much bolder on energy efficiency

Insight by Stephen Tindale, 12 October 2010

The most pain-free way for European governments to fight climate change is to use energy more efficiently. At a recent energy conference hosted by the European Commission, it struck me that the EU still has a poverty of ambition when it comes to energy efficiency.

Weak carbon prices threaten the EU’s environmental leadership

TGAE report, Report by Simon Tilford, 05 March 2010

The EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) works by capping the output of carbon dioxide and then distributing allowances to emit the gas to large energy users.
Carbon capture and storage: What the EU needs to do

Report by Simon Tilford, 12 February 2010

Coal will be the biggest single source of electricity for decades to come. Yet the EU is doing far too little to encourage the take-up of carbon capture and storage, a technology which could make coal a low-carbon fuel.
