Many electronic devices have built-in batteries that must be charged using an external power supply 🔌 The @EU_Commission just published a new draft of ecodesign rules for these products. What is good, and what still needs to be improved? 👇 https://t.co/hzm3CQvlFJ #EWWR2024# https://t.co/1qaLVPmrCC

Heat pumps too modern for old homes? Think again 🤔 A 100-year-old social housing block in London is now warmed by 'shoebox' heat pumps installed in a cupboard of each flat, using water piped from the earth’s warmth. #MythBusted# #RenewableHeating# https://t.co/aWqXJnD6BU

Today, the EU has a new Commission Vice-President designate, @Teresaribera , charged with implementing the #EUGreenDeal# We look forward to the preparation of the decarbonisation architecture for 2040 - a must-have for ensuring that the EU stays on track towards climate-neutrality by 2050 at the latest, emerges from fossil fuel dependency, and combats energy poverty. @vonderleyen also announced the Commissioner-designate for #energy# and #Housing#, @DanJoergensen We are delighted that the @EU_Commission took note of our open letter (https://t.co/p8vrtlgOu1) in July and made #heatingandcooling# a focus of the new mandate. We hope @DanJoergensen will accelerate the #EnergyTransition# in line with the pace needed to meet #EUClimateGoals#. He is also housing commissioner, and must ensure the provision of decarbonised and affordable housing as central to a #JustTransition#. The design of the new EU financial framework, including the Social Climate Fund and Just Transition fund, will be a crucial factor, along with the Clean Industrial Deal and new state aid guidelines to accelerate the rollout of #renewables#, #cleantech# and skills as announced by @vonderleyen The just-announced Citizens Energy Package must ensure that people are truly empowered to form #energycooperatives# for #heatingandcooling# along with other measures that mean people can benefit from the #energytransition#. Read the open letter we sent to President von der Leyen in July: https://t.co/p8vrtlgOu1 Decarbonised and renewable #heatingandcooling# (H&C) will be central to achieving the #energytransition# as H&C is almost half the energy we use, but the share of clean renewable energy keeping our homes comfortable is currently only 6%. What’s more, at the current rate of H&C decarbonisation it would take until 2050 to reach the legally binding 2030 target!! Dedicated action on H&C has never been more needed. It’s time to #HeatRight#

❓Why are gas boilers a social, financial and climate headache? 40% of the energy we use goes into heating homes, mostly with fossil fuels. Making EU boiler-free is the easiest win for carbon neutrality. See @CoolproductsEU answers to 8 boiler FAQs 👇 https://t.co/BVQfAqjZiZ https://t.co/ZQVLWZomT5

The European Commission is revising legislation on the #ecodesign# of air heating and cooling appliances. Improvements "will benefit everyone - consumers, governments and energy suppliers," said @jesuismarco_ of ECOS. Read more from our member @reseauCler https://t.co/9vrxCMsTiN

Heating & cooling is over half of our energy consumption. 📣Time for a #CoolHeatingRevolution#! With the @CoolHeatingCo, we're calling on the @EU_Commission & @vonderleyen to deliver heating & cooling that is decarbonised, renewable & affordable. 🔗https://t.co/mpEKCk8pot https://t.co/vVYON5O960

The EU's #ecodesign# rules enter into force today. We spoke to @euronews about how the #ESPR# can make products #sustainable# by default - by improving environmental performance and transparency and pushing the most polluting products off the market. https://t.co/G4xbTNbrYw
