Halfway the EU gas storage filling season, the Netherlands is lagging. Our storages are only at 31% now, way behind the EU average of 53%, and other major storage countries like France (52%), Germany (45%) and Italy (71%).
Based on security of supply advice by Gasunie, Dutch government had set a target of 80% by 1 November 2026. Our EU obligation is 74%. Both would practically seem out of reach by now, which is unfortunate in view of our dependence on LNG imports in an unstable world.

This is encouraging but,
1) Land use emissions have fallen less than the rise in fossil fuel emissions: global emissions are still rising.
2) There is uncertainty in the data (other than for deforestation) which is greater than the decrease.
3) It's unclear to me what the overall flux is - the balance of sequestration Vs emissions. We know some forests have become net emitters.
Why

Why land-use emissions have fallen by a third this century – in six charts - Carbon Brief
Emissions from land-use change – including deforestation, loss of peatland and forest degradation – have been falling over the course of the 21st century.

Discord said in a statement that it is implementing the suspension of livestreams after a decision by Brazil’s national agency of data protection last week and added it is in conversations “to seek a solution tha…

“Buildings are the single largest energy consumer in Europe. Transposition and implementation of the #EPBD is key to boosting the EU's current very low annual energy renovation rate (1%), reducing bills for citizens and businesses and the EU's dependence on imported fossil fuels, and achieving a zero-emission and fully decarbonised building stock by 2050.”

The Commission calls on EU countries to transpose the reinforced rules on the energy performance of buildings
The European Commission decided to open infringement procedures by sending letters of formal notice to all 27 EU Member States for failing to fully transpose into national law the provisions of the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2024/1275.
