Carbon Market Watch, The Green Tank and other European organizations have sent a letter to the new European Commission on the proper use of ETS revenues.
This analysis by The Green Tank calculates the first sectoral carbon budgets based on the NECP projections and shows that in the five-year period 2026-2030 Greece will burden the atmosphere
In October 2024, the lowest carbon intensity ever (216 g CO2/kWh) was recorded in the Greek power sector, due to low lignite production combined with increased renewable energy production.
In October, lignite production (65 GWh) was the second lowest historically in Greece, while renewables production (2,262 GWh) was the fourth highest historically, despite increased curtailments (141 GWh – second
