dvertisement LPG: Portability LPG needs no pipeline so can be used in the remotest regions of Europe Energy for Europe’s Regions Today and Tomorrow Available Now LPG supply is increasing every year and it can be sourced from anywhere in the world Clean Energy As a gas, LPG helps improve air quality and emits fewer greenhouse gases than many alternatives LPG, a mixture of propane and butane, is a clean and immediately available gaseous energy that provides, heating, transport, cooking and a variety of other solution for millions of European citizens. LPG is Europe’s leading alternative transport fuel, powering more than 7 million vehicles in the EU (an increase of 50% over the past 5 years) and more than 11 million in the wider Europe serviced by an extensive refueling network of over 30,000 stations. At the same time, LPG provides heating for 9 million homes as well as offering a portable solution in thousands of other applications, from crop drying to high-temperature industrial processes to forklifts. LPG’s inherent properties as a clean burning, portable and versatile fuel along with its great supply prospects mean it is in a unique position to help Europe achieve its energy and transport goals.

advertisement European climate action needs a better label On 23 and 24 October 2014, the EU’s Heads of State will determine Europe’s future action to avoid dangerous global temperature rise. At this important hour, it is expected that they will decide to reduce Europe’s domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Yet, a gigantic amount of surplus emission allowances in the current climate policy casts a dark shadow over this target. Without immediate and urgent action, the surplus could be directly transformed into future rights to pollute and cause that the actual emissions reductions under a 40% target may be as low as 26%. The loopholes have been largely caused by a giant amount of excess allowances that has accumulated in both of Europe’s existing climate instruments. In total, weak targets and international offsets will lead to a surplus of 4 billion emission allowances equivalent to 14% of the EU’s reduction effort by 2030. To drive Europe’s regions on a sustainable economic pathway that delivers transformational change requires our emission reductions to reach 80 to 95% by 2050. To achieve this our leaders need to protect the 40% target and prevent the surplus emission allowances from slowing Europe’s future ambition.
