As the #EUParliament kicks off the EU commissioner hearings today, we’re questioning what positions commissioner-designates Jørgensen, Hoekstra, & Ribera could take on #fossilgas & if they’ll truly aim for a #just & #clean energy transition. Check out our blog here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDsqCi2v

EU Council gave its final approval to the EU #methaneregulation, likely to take effect by the end of June. Good news, yet challenges loom in implementation. Gaps in the text & the potential #fossilfuel industry push back need attention. Check our analysis 👉 https://lnkd.in/e_TjnhAw

Our latest report co-written w. @gasnoessolucion exposes the toxic truth behind Europe's LNG obsession! 🛢️🔥 EU continues to externalize the human toll of #fracking and #LNGimports onto frontline communities across the Atlantic Ocean. In 2023 alone, #US LNG imports made up a staggering 48% of the EU's total LNG imports, predominantly sourced from the Gulf Coast region. The #LNGboom spells disaster for the environment, polluting air, water, and soil of local communities, while perpetuating environmental racism. Those residing near LNG & fracking facilities are forced to live under a constant threat, robbed of their right to a safe & healthy environment. #FrackingHypocrisy #StopLNG Read more here - https://bit.ly/4aKEtDR

📣 🚨 [NEW PUBLICATION] - We proudly present to you our new LNG threat map, a colorful 🌈 , “comic-style” tool showing the size of the LNG build out in Europe and - most importantly - the growing opposition to LNG! Thanks to everyone who helped us with this project by providing input! 🔍 What you can find on the map: We decided to put the spotlight on LNG import infrastructure to show the threats of the new build out and LNG expansion project in Europe.😨 On the front of the map, alongside each terminal, we've outlined the various threats, such as impacts on marine ecosystems, climate change implications, and connections to fracking LNG (not exhaustive). Flip the map for a closer look at the fierce opposition against LNG infrastructure! ✊ Find more information here -  https://bit.ly/3xCzuGD.
