Geopolitical pathways for the energy transition: Eastern Mediterranean
2024-04-24 09:30 - 11:30 (Europe/Madrid)
Naturgy Foundation and Elcano Royal Institute invite you to a conference to analyze the geopolitical implications of the energy transition. The collaboration of both institutions explores the global panorama drawn by the transformation experienced in the fields of energy and the environment.

In this session we will address the potential for energy cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean, which encompasses the commercial development of the region’s natural gas reserves and renewables, including electricity interconnection projects with Egypt and Israel and European-Egyptian cooperation on green hydrogen, to identify drivers and barriers, as well as the implications for the EU.

The Impact of the Green Deal on EU Industry: Measures Taken and Challenges Ahead
2024-09-18 10:00 - 11:30
Naturgy Foundation invites you to the presentation of the study The Impact of the Green Deal on EU Industry: Measures Taken and Challenges Ahead, prepared by Christopher Jones of the Florence School of Regulation, which reviews energy and climate legislation recently adopted in the EU and the impact it will have on the European industry.
This document addresses measures including the new Renewable Energy Directive, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) or the new ESG framework, all of which need to be considered as a whole in order to properly assess their impact. This issue will be central for EU in the coming years: President von der Leyen placed the ‘Clean Industrial Deal’ as a flagship policy for the next Commission.
