The proposed ReFuelEU Aviation and FuelEU Maritime regulations aim to increase the uptake of sustainable fuels by aircraft and ships to reduce their environmental footprint.

The alternative fuels infrastructure regulation will ensure enough alternative fuels refuelling and recharging stations across the EU by 2030.

REPowerEU is the EU’s plan to accelerate the clean energy transition. EU countries implement the plan through their recovery and resilience plans.

The EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) is the EU’s key tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The EU is working on its revision.

The proposed social climate fund will provide support to vulnerable groups most affected by the introduction of a new emissions trading system for buildings and road transport and fuels.

EU rules to lower the EU's carbon footprint will reshape the way we live, work and travel. Here are some examples of what life in the EU will look like in 2030.

The EU is committed to becoming climate-neutral by 2050. The Fit for 55 package is the EU's plan to align EU legislation with climate goals.

The effort sharing regulation (ESR) sets a target for each EU member state to cut greenhouse gas emissions in a number of economic sectors, which currently represent around 60% of total EU emissions.

The LULUCF rules address the carbon footprint of activities related to the conversion, use and management of land and forests for both human and environmental benefits.

What is the impact of EU industrial emissions rules on pollution?
