energy ministers of the countries of G7 (Germany, Canada, United States, France, Italy, Japan and United Kingdom) are discussing to close the activities of its power plants moved to coal to 2035. The information was released by Reuters Agency.
A coal deal would mark an important step towards discussions carried out on fossil fuels na COP-28 in Dubai last year.
According to Reuters, the discussion was made No. Last sunday (28) and one of the member countries opposes the measure. A meeting of energy ministers is scheduled to take place second (29) and Tuesday (30) in the city of Turin, Italy, which holds the rotating presidency of the G7 in 2024.
Two sources told Reuters that, in addition to seeking an agreement to end coal in electricity generation, Italy also wants to stimulate efforts to develop battery storage capacity and boost the investment in energy networks, as the G7 increases its renewable energy production.
The block may determine the need for an increase in six times na battery capacity, for energy storage, up to 2030 relative to 2022 levels.
Vision of Italy
At the top of Italian priorities on the topic are also the nuclear energy and the biofuels. According to sources, the country wants to see both energy sources in the final communiqué between choice options for the G7 countries for reducing of the use of fossil fuels both in energy generation and transport.
Rome still claims that nuclear energy must do part of the goal from the country of zero carbon emissions until 2050, despite its rejection in a national referendum in 2011.
Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, the country's energy minister, said on Sunday that he hoped to convince the European Energy Commission that biofuels can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles.
