The European Union wants to classify the different to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. A project explained by Aurélie Schiller, journalist at France Télévisions.
If wind or solar energy did not have any difficulty in ranking in the list drawn up by the European Commission. Gas and nuclear have been recognized as sustainable energies which could ultimately benefit from better financing conditions.
New nuclear power plants will have to obtain a building permit before 2045. For work aimed at extending the lifespan of the power plants, authorizations must be obtained before 2040. The Commission will demand processing guarantees nuclear waste and the dismantling of facilities. For gas, CO2 emission thresholds are set at less than 100g of CO2 / kwh. An unachievable announced objective according to the specialists with current technologies. For gas-fired power stations that will have obtained their license before December 31, 2030, this threshold will rise to 270g of CO2 / kwh.
