Big news! EU to ban ‘climate neutral’ claims by 2026 and emissions offsetting as a basis for carbon-neutral or eco-friendly product claims

The European Union (EU) is set to enforce stringent regulations on environmental claims made by businesses, aiming to combat greenwashing in consumer products and eliminate the confusion surrounding environmental claims. 

These rules, agreed upon recently, will ban broad environmental assertions like "climate neutral" or "eco" by 2026, unless companies can substantiate their claims. 

The use of emissions offsetting as a basis for carbon-neutral or eco-friendly product claims will also be prohibited, along with green labels that aren't endorsed by approved sustainability schemes.

Once enacted by 2026, these regulations will position the EU as a global leader in regulating public-facing green claims. Though they still require approval from the EU parliament and member states, it's uncommon for EU lawmakers to reject such measures.

The rules are expected to target "generic environmental claims" such as
-green
-nature's friend
-nature friendly
-energy efficient
-biodegradable 

unless products can demonstrate excellent environmental performance.

Carbon neutral claims have come under scrutiny, with experts asserting that such claims are scientifically incorrect and should not be used. The EU's decision to ban these claims aligns with its broader efforts to transform the economy towards achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Additionally, the new regulations will have implications for carbon offsetting schemes, which have faced criticism for their credibility. Some of these schemes allocate funds to projects that do not effectively remove or store carbon emissions over extended periods, prompting concerns about the effectiveness of carbon neutrality claims based on offsetting.

EU fossil generation hits record low as demand falls. 

-EU power demand fell by 5% year on year in the first half of 2023
-EU fossil fuel generation fell by 17% in the first half of 2023
-17 EU countries had record renewable generation from January to June

In the first half of 2023, the EU experienced a sharp decline in fossil fuel power generation, resulting in the lowest levels ever recorded. 

Conversely, wind and solar energy production continued to grow, with solar generation increasing by 13% and wind generation by 5%. Hydro and nuclear power sources are slowly recovering from their historically low levels in 2022, but their long-term prospects remain uncertain.

The decrease in fossil fuel generation can be attributed primarily to a significant drop in electricity demand, which was influenced by persistently high gas and power prices, a reduction in industrial output, and emergency measures taken during the winter. To both meet the recovering demand for energy and stay on course for the energy transition, the EU needs to accelerate the deployment of clean energy sources, with a specific focus on overcoming obstacles to integrating renewable energy into the grid.
