The US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) differs fundamentally from the EU Green Deal as an industrial policy and response to climate change. The EU quantifies numerous climate targets to set strict limits on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the U.S. aims to develop new technologies that mitigate climate change competitively than conventional ones through tax credits and market incentives, rather than through heavy regulation. This could put pressure on European countries to adopt similar policies to remain competitive.

This webinar will discuss the effects of the IRA in Europe, taking as a starting point the discussion of the brief produced by EsadeGeo on the topic.

Carbon capture: analyzing the potential of Negative Emissions Technologies

In 2015, the Paris Agreement adopted the goal of limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5ºC before the end of the 21st century. This goal was supported from a scientific point of view by the United Nations Special Report on Global Warming in 2018. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to move towards the goal of being net zero emissions by 2050, and Negative Emissions Technologies will be essential.

The Repsol Foundation Energy Transition Chair at the Rovira i Virgili University is organizing this webinar in which these technologies and their CO2 removal potential will be explored.

The path towards an environmentally sustainable aviation

Transport is responsible for up to 28.5% of CO2 emissions in the European Union. In this segment, aviation contributes to 13% of those emissions.

To meet the decarbonisation targets for this sector and align with the Paris Agreement, it is crucial to understand the pillars of decarbonization and to quantify the reduction of emission throughout the lifecycle of aircrafts. Energy efficiency and fuels with low or zero carbon footprint are fundamental, whether for general, commercial or military aviation.

The Energy Transition Chair of the Repsol Foundation at the Polytechnic University of Madrid is organising this webinar together with Ryanair and IATA to discuss these challenges and explore innovative solutions that can accelerate the decarbonisation of air transport, contributing to a more sustainable aviation.
