People have been locked into an energy and transport system fundamentally based on imported fossil fuels. This has a negative impact on the planet, our health, wallets, and geopolitical security. Change is afoot to decarbonise our economy, influenced by clear EU policies in energy, the automotive sector, and product design. A well-managed transition to affordable, clean, and diversified (localised) energy is a major component of improving Europe’s security.

Heating and cooling are one of the largest expenses for European households. To bring down energy bills, cut our dependency on fossil fuels and decarbonise the sector, we need to change how we heat and cool our homes. For consumers to make this shift, the EU should set out a clear strategy that speeds up the uptake of heat pumps, expands renewable-based district heating, and accelerates housing renovations.
