AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoEU Carbon Market Fight: Poland has built a 10-country coalition (with Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia) to push Brussels to slow Emissions Trading System (ETS) tightening and reconsider ETS2, arguing households shouldn’t face new climate costs and calling for a “realistic path” for cuts. Heatwave Toll: An AFP analysis puts excess deaths from Europe’s June heatwave at at least 12,000 across nine countries, with the figure likely to rise as more data lands—another stark reminder that extreme heat is becoming a recurring public-health emergency. ETS Overhaul Pressure: The EU is set to unveil major ETS reforms amid fierce wrangling between industry, governments and climate advocates, with critics warning the changes could weaken the Green Deal’s original ambition. Hydrogen Infrastructure (EU): Spain–France’s BarMar hydrogen pipeline has moved from pre-FEED into FEED, aiming to lock in subsea design and permitting steps for a 400 km offshore link. German Energy Research: Fraunhofer IEG is exploring “double value” geothermal projects that could supply clean heat while also extracting strategic raw materials like lithium. Climate Adaptation (Germany-relevant): A study highlights how Germany’s heat protection and building readiness are under strain as record temperatures drive demand for cooling.
