    EU climate policies without an international framework
  • 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.

  • The EU must support clean energy, not dirty coal
    Bulletin article by Stephen Tindale, 02 August 2010

    The EU aspires to be a world leader in reducing carbon emissions. It seeks to develop renewable sources of energy and new ways of making coal and gas cleaner.

  • 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.
