Get your facts straight
The spread of disinformation has become an increasing cause for concern in recent years and in April 2025, we launched, together with the Directorate-General for Climate Action, a new series of short articles to address common myths targeting EU energy and climate topics.
Despite their growing popularity, certain myths still lead to confusion or doubts about heat pumps. Here are 5 things you should know.
COP30 in Belém comes 33 years after the Rio Summit that established the first international treaty to combat human-caused climate change, and a decade after the Paris Agreement that seeks to enhance global climate action.
Despite their benefits for the climate and our energy security, biogas and biomethane are still subject to persistent myths and misunderstandings. Here are 5 key things you should know.
In focus articles
We publish one ‘in focus’ article per month, focussing on topical themes that we hope will interest a wide audience of EU citizens.
Data centres are a vital infrastructure supporting our ever-growing use of cloud storage, social media, AI, streaming services and more. They’re also an increasingly hot topic of the clean transition, as they consume significant amounts of energy.
Renewable and low-carbon hydrogen and its derivatives can help replace the use of fossil fuels in heavy industry and transport. From less than 2% of our consumption in 2022, by 2050, hydrogen is estimated to account for around 10% of the EU’s energy needs.
While renewable energy sources can’t be depleted in the same way as fossil fuels, they are ‘variable’, meaning their availability fluctuates. That’s where energy storage solutions, such as batteries, have a vital role to play.
