Luxembourg, Luxembourg — The EU will seek a global phase-out of fossil fuels and for their use to reach a peak in this decade, according to the member states’ common position adopted unanimously late Monday.
EU ministers meeting in Luxembourg bitterly clashed over the inclusion of the word in the negotiating mandate for new EU commissioner for climate matters, Wopke Hoekstra, who will represent them at COP28 in Dubai from November 30 to December 12. Together with NGOs, some governments wanted the “unabated” label withdrawn or have strict conditions attached to the use of carbon capture technology, to prevent them being used as justification for continued fossil-fuel burning.“However some sectors are extremely hard to abate” and thus carbon-capture technology was needed “as part of the total solution space,” he said.
At COP28 many countries will push to secure an unprecedented commitment to move away from “unabated” fossil fuels.
