Separating facts from fiction: How to report on "climate-friendly" fossil fuel alternatives and fake solutions
Saturday October 19, 2024 1:30pm - 2:30pm CEST
Teatro
While Europe's transition from fossil fuels to renewables and energy efficiency appears straightforward, growing attention on hotly contested technologies poses a risk of diverting precious resources from effective climate solutions, potentially steering Europe away from its Paris Agreement trajectory.  

What is their realistic contribution to the climate fight? Are policymakers in Europe crafting oversized plans for them? Are they just costly distractions and unproven experiments?

In this panel, three experts will discuss hydrogen, nuclear power plants, and carbon capture and storage, with the aim of informing journalists on the realities behind them so you can understand better what’s a hype pushed by influential lobbies and what’s a fact.
