Open Letter: Call to vote for an EPBD that supports a fossil fuel and gas phase-out from buildings this decade

Bellona Europa signed a letter alongside 11 signatory organisations calling on members of the European Parliament to support a true phase-out of fossil fuels and any form of gas-based heating from buildings by the end of this decade. To guarantee this, we call for MEPs to 1) support the compromise text, 2) vote to reject relevant provisions of the compromise text to close fossil-fuel and gas phase-out loopholes within the compromise text, and 3) reject amendments diluting the EPBD’s ambition on decarbonising heating and the energy use of buildings overall.
