🧵👇1/7 In the fossil fuel era, companies get all the profits, while communities face pollution & economic instability. #Renewables are a chance to flip the script—but only if their benefits are shared fairly.

Three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion. 🚀 Cities bombed 💔 Thousands of lives lost 🏠 Millions displaced Yet, Russian oil, gas, and #LNG still fund this war. We need full energy #sanctions & transparency in the EU #gas market. razomwestand.com/eu-once-agai...

Renewable energy isn’t just about cutting emissions—it’s about fairness! Benefit sharing models make sure communities gain from #renewables, not just developers. From financial compensation to local ownership, it’s a win-win 🤝. Read our latest blog post: beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/02/25/r...

Frank Bold, @greenpeace.eu & @foeeurope.bsky.social are filing a complaint with the European Commission. The Počerady #coal power plant in 🇨🇿 is violating the legal limit for mercury emissions by up to 4x despite a court ruling deeming it as unlawful. en.frankbold.org/news/frank-b...

📢Are EPH’s #coal phase-out commitments real climate action—or just creative restructuring? 🧐 Instead of shutting down #coal assets, it’s transferring them to a sister company while retaining control. Our new with Re-set looks behind the mask 👇 beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/02/03/b...

Positive news from @ember-energy.org! Germany’s 🇩🇪 record year for solar electricity generation is an encouraging sign for the future, and Europe’s clean energy transition. ⏱️ But with lagging #fossilfuel phaseout dates, it’s time to speed up its transition.

🧵1/7 Is EPH’s “coal-free” promise just an elaborate illusion? 🎭 Our investigation exposes how EPH is shifting coal assets to a "separate" company but still keeping control of them. Investors and regulators shouldn’t be fooled by the act. 🎪👇

🔮 The illusion of a coal-free future? EPH seems to be performing a vanishing trick—transferring coal assets to a "separate" company while keeping control behind the curtain. The result? Dirty coal profits and more emissions. But the mask is slipping 👉 Watch our explainer. youtu.be/m-SOu-rOZDY

🎭 A magician never reveals their secrets—but we just did. EPH’s “coal exit” looks like a ruse, shifting polluting assets to its sister company, but behind the scenes it's still turning dirty coal profits. Read our new research in partnership with Re-set: beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/02/12/b...

We made it clear yesterday at the #AIActionSummit: data centres’ energy boom cannot result in more #fossilfuels being burned. Big Tech and industry execs only have one choice: ✅ Match AI’s growth with new and additional renewable energy. Anything else is toxic.

Huge new @beyondfossilfuels.bsky.social report - EU's data centre frenzy could enable 121 megatonnes of CO2-e "New data centre demand alone could consume as much as the added power needed for the electrification of the entire transport sector in the EU by 2030" @jillmcardle.bsky.social

"If the data centre growth relies on fossil gas, it will fuel the climate crisis. To prevent this, expansion must go hand in hand with the buildout of additional renewable energy," says @jillmcardle.bsky.social on the risks surging data centre electricity demand. www.euronews.com/next/2025/02...

🧵1/ Between crypto, the cloud & AI, the digital world is growing fast. Today’s #AIActionSummit is convening world leaders and industry executives to discuss its future. We're calling on them to tackle one of the tech industry’s biggest threats: its soaring power demand. 👇

We went to the #AIActionSummit today with an early Valentine’s message for Big Tech & industry execs: It’s time to dump fossil fuels. 👋 Powering data centres with fossil energy? Talk about a toxic relationship. We’re demanding a swift divorce, and a speed date with #renewables.

⚠️ ICYMI: Since 2015, governments have allocated over €50B in contracts to fossil plant operators – to be paid via energy bills. Europe can’t afford this, we need to redirect money towards #RenewableEnergy and #CleanFlexibility 👉 new report beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/01/28/c...

Some European gas power plant owners are raking it in... Often you see gas power plants squeezing the markets pushing electricity prices sky-high. AND on top of those wholesale revenues, they CAPACITY MARKET revenues. €45 billion for gas power plants and €6 billion for coal since 2015🙂

1/5 💸 Capacity markets exist in 6 European countries & have provided contracts to energy assets worth €90bn since 2015. Contracts to fossil plant operators have outstripped those to #cleanflexibility by almost 3-to-1. beyondfossilfuels.org/2025/01/28/c...
