After the successful delivery of last year’s project focused on the decarbonization of the Czech automotive industry, the climate team of EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy leads its second round.

It will also contribute to our understanding of the decarbonization pathways through evidence-based research. Lastly, the project aims to raise social awareness about the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition of the automotive industry by organizing events and media briefings.

Dekarbonizace českého automobilového průmyslu

December 01, 2022

Po úspěšné realizaci loňského projektu zaměřeného na dekarbonizaci českého automobilového průmyslu spustil klimatický tým Institutu pro evropskou politiku EUROPEUM jeho druhý ročník. Tentokrát je cílem projektu využít již získané znalosti, kontakty a zdroje k vytvoření příznivého prostředí pro diskusi mezi zástupci průmyslu a veřejného sektoru a rozšířit porozumění dekarbonizaci prostřednictvím empirického výzkumu. V neposlední řadě si projekt klade za cíl zvýšit společenské povědomí o výzvách a příležitostech plynoucích z transformace automobilového průmyslu prostřednictvím akcí a mediálních briefingů.

INVITATION: Café Evropa online: The future of European energy - how to ensure stable and clean energy sources without Russia?

March 21, 2022

We would like to invite you to the Café Evropa debate on 21 March at 17:30 on the topic "The future of European energy - how to ensure stable and clean energy sources without Russia?". The Russian invasion of Ukraine has, among other things, further fuelled the question of energy security in the Czech Republic and the EU and the future of energy in our country. The current security situation points to the need to diversify energy sources as soon as possible, i.e. to secure energy supplies from different regions and countries in order to avoid excessive dependence on Russia. There are also views in the public debate that coal extraction could be temporarily increased, which would enable some countries to cover any shortfalls in resources. Is a complete or even partial halt of Russian gas supplies to the Czech Republic and the European Union a realistic option? What impact would this have on our energy security? How much further increase in energy prices can we expect in this case? How should EU countries react and help households and industry cope with the expected increase? Could a possible temporary increase in coal extraction mean a return to fossil fuels and the end of the EU's climate ambitions? Or could the current problematic situation further accelerate the energy transition?
