The European Commission’s proposed 2040 climate target has been welcomed by the VDMA. Thilo Brodtmann praised the EU’s continued ambition and emphasized the key role of mechanical engineering in global climate protection. He supports the idea of allowing emission reductions in non-EU countries to count toward EU goals, as this could accelerate the global deployment of climate technologies.
To make this work, clear regulations and sufficient investment are essential. Brodtmann urges...

The development and implementation of an EU strategy for hydrogen imports must be driven forward now, according to the VDMA Power-to-X for Applications in its recently published position paper. This is because the environment in which the EU operates is changing rapidly. A new EU energy policy must be measured in terms of increasing competitiveness, responding to geopolitical unpredictability and undiminished ambition in climate policy. Resilience in energy supply is in the strategic interes...
