Lower fossil fuel demand doesn't just cut emissions. It can also reduce EU's exposure to energy shocks. Our bulletin finds that spending on imported fossil fuels during the recent Strait of Hormuz crisis was 24% lower than during the 2022 energy crisis due to a reduction in fossil fuel demand.
Quarterly Bulletin 01/2026: Clean Industrial Transition Monitor | ECNO
As policymakers respond to the economic impacts of the recent disruption in fossil fuel markets caused by the US-Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, critical decisions are also being made on the future direction of the EU's Clean Industrial Deal. The first edition of the Clean Industrial Transition Monitor Quarterly Bulletin tracks developments in important economic indicators relevant to EU industry and monitors key policy developments under the Clean Industrial Deal.

Our 2026 NECP update covers all 27 Member States. The assessment finds persistent gaps in renewables, energy efficiency, policy impacts and the phase-out of fossil fuel subsidies. With Poland’s final NECP still pending, the picture is clearer, but not yet reassuring. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4uw6cb2j
No EU region or household should be left behind in the clean transition. Stronger funding, coordinated policies, and targeted national action are essential for a fair and resilient transition to a climate-neutral economy. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-... @ireform.bsky.social
Renovations, electrification, and heat pump adoption are lagging in the EU, slowing climate progress. ECNO’s analysis shows stronger policies, funding, and support are crucial to speed up the transition and boost energy security. 📖 Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

Europe has a plan for clean industry. But it’s not yet working. ECNO’s new Clean Industrial Transition Monitor shows where progress is real and where it is still falling short. 🔗https://climateobservatory.eu/report/clean-industrial-transition-monitor
A reality check for EU industrial policy: Are the right conditions in place for the transition? ECNO launches the Clean Industrial Transition Monitor on 24 March, with feedback from Hydnum Steel & @malgosiarybak.bsky.social (CEPI). 14:00–15:30 CET | Online Register: www.forms.ecologic.eu/ecno-cid
EU industry isn’t cutting emissions fast enough. Energy and resource efficiency are improving, but CO₂ drop from 2023 came from lower production, not greener processes. Strong policies are needed to accelerate decarbonisation. 📖 Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
Is the Clean Industrial Deal delivering in practice? ECNO launches the Clean Industrial Transition Monitor on 24 March 2026, tracking investment, infrastructure, skills and markets across the industrial value chain. 14:00–15:30 CET | Online Register: www.forms.ecologic.eu/ecno-cid
The EU’s agrifood sector isn’t cutting emissions fast enough. Diet shifts, food waste reduction, and sustainable farming need stronger support. 📖 Read the full report to see how better policies and funding could support a climate-neutral future: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
Delays, weak implementation, and low ambition in national plans are slowing EU climate governance. Clear targets, robust planning, and citizen engagement are key to fair, effective action of the transition towards a climate neutral economy. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
Climate-aligned finance in the EU is moving in the wrong direction – the only area in ECNO’s analysis with a negative trend. Clean energy, buildings, transport and industry need more investment, while fossil fuel subsidies keep growing. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
The EU risks falling behind as public money funds fossil fuels abroad and climate priorities remain weak in foreign policy. Aligning finance with the Paris Agreement is key for the EU to lead globally the clean transition. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
The EU’s clean electricity shift is moving but not fast enough. The elements of the system that enable clean electricity like grids, battery storage and smart meters are still developing too slowly.
The EU’s industrial transition needs to pick up the pace. The upcoming Industrial Accelerator Act and Grids Package are a chance to bring it up to speed. Read more to understand what the EU must get right to build an industry fit for a clean energy future: climateobservatory.eu/blog-can-ind...
Growth in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure is insufficient to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. ECNO’s analysis shows EU policies can decarbonise transport, boost competitiveness, and make mobility more sustainable for all. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
Progress on sustainable lifestyles in Europe is moving far too slowly, even though they are key to cutting emissions. ECNO's latest analysis shows citizens need policies that make low-carbon choices easy and affordable. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
The clean tech industry is gaining momentum. EU policies are helping firms scale up clean tech, boost competitiveness, and cut fossil fuel dependence. ECNO’s analysis shows the sector is on track to meet 2030 targets. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
ECNO’s latest progress report is here, and it’s an essential read for anyone shaping the EU’s path to climate neutrality. Here are 5 key takeaways for policy-makers and why they matter for the EU’s clean transition. Read the full report: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
The EU’s clean transition is being held back by slow electrification, a significant climate investment gap and aging and inadequate infrastructure. Read the full report to see how these priorities can work together to deliver a competitive EU: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...
Boosting demand for cleantech is key to EU competitiveness. ECNO’s latest report recommends revising EU public procurement rules, and targeted support to cut upfront costs of buying clean products. Read more: climateobservatory.eu/report/2025-...

More people in the EU are buying plant-based proteins and eating less beef. But 80% of farm subsidies still go to animal-based food production. New analysis from ECNO shows the growing gap between what people are eating and EU food policy.
