Albuquerque: ‘Technology neutrality in Taxonomy’"},"content":{"rendered":"

Brussels – The Green Deal has never been in question or a problem, to the point that companies are investing in line with the European Commission’s guidelines. The taxonomy<\/strong>, the set of criteria that classifies an initiative as green and sustainable, is liked and successful<\/strong>, assures the Commissioner for Financial Stability, Maria Luis Albuquerque<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 “In 2024, capital investments into Taxonomy-aligned activities have reached EUR 273 billion,” she points out, responding to a parliamentary question<\/a> on the subject. The 2024 investments “bring the total to EUR 742 billion in the financial years 2022, 2023, and 2024<\/strong>“, she adds, pointing out that all this “demonstrates that companies are using the Taxonomy to guide and showcase their capital
\ninvestments<\/strong> in key sectors contributing to the green transition and more sustainable economic
\ngrowth, in particular energy.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Given the success among industry and investors, the European Commission intends to continue with this agenda. So much so that Albuquerque anticipates that “the Commission is currently conducting a comprehensive review of the Taxonomy criteria to simplify and enhance their usability.<\/strong>” In this review, “particular attention is paid to simplifying the ‘do no significant harm’ (DNSH) criteria.” Whatever the outcome of this work, “The review will be evidence-based and will respect the principle of technological neutrality.<\/strong>“<\/span>\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The adoption of the technological neutrality principle is significant in both political and industrial terms. On both sides, there has been criticism of a sustainability approach seen as too focused on a single solution, rather than allowing flexibility to choose other options that could reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Confetra has done so, for example<\/a>, as has Confindustria Lombardy<\/a>. Italy, too, through the Meloni government, has criticised choices and orientations <\/a>of the first von der Leyen Commission for what were considered short\u2011sighted decisions regarding the various technological options available to meet sustainability goals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
