taxonomie verte-nucleaire-gaz

The document criticizes the European Commission for considering the inclusion of nuclear energy and natural gas in the EU green taxonomy despite technical recommendations to the contrary. It highlights that while the Technical Expert Group (TEG) set a CO2 emission threshold of 100g CO2/Kwh and excluded nuclear power, the Commission may use a separate technical review for nuclear and raise emission thresholds for gas. The author calls for the creation of a 'brown' taxonomy to identify activities incompatible with climate goals.

• The Technical Expert Group (TEG) originally excluded nuclear energy from the green taxonomy because it could not confirm the absence of climate harm, and it set a CO2 emission limit of 100g CO2/Kwh, which restricted the inclusion of gas projects.
• There is a risk that the European Commission, influenced by lobbies—specifically French ones—will use an exceptional technical review by its own research center to include nuclear energy by the end of 2021 and raise emission thresholds to facilitate gas investments.
• The author suggests that instead of protecting fossil fuel and nuclear giants, European leaders should establish a 'brown' taxonomy to identify activities that are incompatible with climate objectives.
