💡 Last week, at the "Youth4Innovation: Design Thinking for Climate Action" event, our colleague Giovanna Matrone represented Dumarey Automotive Italia. The half-day workshop was organized by Connect4Climate in collaboration with Politecnico di Torino and the Italian Network of Universities for Sustainable Development, as part of an exciting week of events leading up to the G7 Ministerial Meeting on Climate, Energy, and Environment, scheduled to be held in Turin in these days.   🔄 Students from four different nations and representatives from four companies convened at the #CircularEconomy table to discuss the impact of regulatory requirements and the innovative approaches that railway companies must adopt to address vegetation clearance from the network, ensuring #sustainability and #safety simultaneously.   The final ideas were presented during a plenary session attended by all students, companies, and representatives from PoliTo and the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security. 🌍🌱

On the eve of the European Industry Summit on next Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 April, we call on European government leaders to look beyond borders and find a solution to the deteriorating position of our #industry. The manufacturing industry in the triangle between the Flemish-Dutch ports and the German Ruhr is responsible for a large part of European production. International headquarters are now hesitating whether they still see a future in the #EU. We are very concerned about this; it is precisely industry that can make the difference in making our society more #sustainable. As ports, we therefore want to take the lead in improving the investment climate for industry in Europe so that the relevant companies want to invest in sustainability. As ports and industrial clusters, we adapt the infrastructure for tomorrow's raw materials and energy, such as hydrogen, so that even a sustainable industry can continue to cooperate efficiently. We also want to work more from a shared vision that allows us to make smarter use of scarce space in ports. We hope that industry will be given the opportunity to make Europe more sustainable. After all, it provides crucial support for our ports, along with #logistics and the #energy sectors. It is therefore important for European government leaders to merge climate and industry policies in their five-year plan, as recently highlighted by European business in "The Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal".

🇪🇺 Celebrate Europe Day! This day not only commemorates the visionary Schuman Declaration of 1950, a milestone in the journey towards European unity and cooperation, as it is also an opportunity for us to reflect on our shared history. The European Union embraces values of solidarity, democracy, and cooperation, which bind us together. As we celebrate #EuropeDay, we reaffirm our dedication to environmental stewardship and #sustainabledevelopment . The EU stands as a global advocate for environmental sustainability from pioneering initiatives that prioritise innovation and circular economy strategies to the energy transition. One of the key areas of focus is #hydrogen -a clean, versatile energy source with immense potential to drive #decarbonization efforts across various sectors. Hydrogen holds a special place in the EU's vision for a greener future. It offers a pathway to reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and foster economic growth through technological and educational innovation and investment. As we celebrate the progress made in advancing environmental sustainability, let us also acknowledge the EU's commitment to hydrogen technology. By harnessing the power of hydrogen, the European Commission #ErasmusPlus Green Skills for Hydrogen Project is paving the way towards a more sustainable and prosperous #Europe for generations to come.

Last week I took part in a “presidential style” debate… In all seriousness, thanks for having all three of us and a great job of moderating Mike Stones. As Mike put it, “we certainly covered a lot of ground. I only wish we had more time. (But then, there’s always less time than we think).” How very true. Yet, there is so much more to talk about! Business aviation is about to go through a roller coaster of a transformative ride. Change like we haven’t seen since the jet engine. Conflicting priorities such as speed and emissions. And the huge impact electrification will have on operating costs. Then there is infrastructure. Relatively easy for battery electric but given that we talked about it for nearing 2 hours prior to our slot, a big subject for hydrogen. One thing was very clear, change is coming. Starting with retrofit aircraft, soon overtaken by new designs like our Electron 5. #businessaviation #sustainableaviation #zeroemission

A CEO Word by Jeroen Eijsink "In the face of rapidly evolving environmental directives, the logistics sector is pivotal in shaping Europe's sustainable future. The EU's strategy, aimed at achieving climate neutrality by 2050, lays a clear path for us to follow. Our role in this journey is not just about adopting new electric transport technologies; it is about ensuring our infrastructure is robust enough to support this seismic shift. The transformation towards electric trucking presents a set of intricate challenges, primarily in terms of infrastructure development. Establishing an extensive network of charging stations is just the beginning. The crux of the matter lies in the urgent need to augment Europe’s power grids to efficiently support an increasingly electrified fleet. The massive power requirements of fast-charging stations exert considerable strain on our current electrical grids, many of which are aging and in need of urgent modernization. This aspect is as crucial as developing the physical charging infrastructure itself. In this context, the role of policymakers becomes critical. Their decisions and directives can significantly influence the pace and effectiveness of our transition to sustainable road transport. It is imperative that their strategies and regulations are attuned to the practicalities and complexities of the logistics sector. Crucial to overcoming these hurdles is cooperation. Partnerships between the logistics industry, technology providers, and government bodies are essential to align efforts. These collaborative endeavours can effectively bridge policy intentions with practical implementation, ensuring a cohesive approach towards a greener logistics landscape. At Girteka, we are more than just observers of this shift towards a sustainable future. We are active contributors, dedicated to implementing solutions that address the related challenges. Our commitment is to lead by example, showcasing how strategic thinking and proactive measures can create a sustainable, efficient logistics industry." #SustainableLogistics #ClimateNeutrality #ElectricTransport #ElectricTrucking #InfrastructureDevelopment #GreenTransport
