@tagliapietra.bsky.social@tagliapietra.bsky.social💡 Batteries of Chinese-sold EVs tend to run with lithium iron phosphate (LFP); those sold in Europe are more commonly made with cobalt (NMC). ▶️ LFP batteries are considerably cheaper and are gaining global market share. More than half of global LFP patents are held by Chinese investors.
@tagliapietra.bsky.socialNEW🚨What is Europe’s position in clean tech value chains? Together with the Harvard Growth Lab, we explore trends at national and regional levels, identifying the sectors and regions in which Europe can generate economic growth through the energy transition.
@bruegel.orgReposted by @tagliapietra.bsky.socialExplore the book, European Clean Tech Atlas, that documents these economic trends across clean technologies.

@tagliapietra.bsky.social🇪🇺 At the invitation of the Irish Presidency, today in Dublin I addressed European energy ministers on the interplay between electrification and industrial competitiveness. Here are my kick-off remarks.
@tagliapietra.bsky.social💯 European batteries on the rise! In 2025, stationary batteries exceeded 100 GWh - equivalent to roughly 10 million household batteries. Utility-scale batteries reached 19 GWh.

@tagliapietra.bsky.social💡 EU imports of Chinese plug-in hybrid EVs are surging. PHEV imports are not covered by the EU's additional tariffs on Chinese battery electric vehicles, introduced in December 2024. The EU has now approached China, asking for a voluntary cap on hybrid exports.
@tagliapietra.bsky.socialNEW🚨Automotive is at the very core of Europe's industrial policy concerns & efforts. The challenges are great, and China is only part of the issue. Defensive measures alone will not fix to the problem. Smarter industrial & trade policy actions are urgently required.

@tagliapietra.bsky.social💡 Europe innovates in wind and heat pumps. From 2014-2024, Europe's share of global patenting grew by 5.0% for wind and 8.7% for heat pumps. It remained constant for nuclear. Europe's share is declining across other clean technologies - partly driven by the faster patenting growth in China.
@tagliapietra.bsky.socialSOTEU speeches represent a good indicator of Europe's policy priorities. Here it is a quick overview of how priority areas have evolved since 2020. Tomorrow at 14:00-15:00 CET we will unpack the speech with Bruegel colleagues in a live podcast - link here: www.bruegel.org/event/sound-...
@tagliapietra.bsky.socialNEW 🚨 As global warming impacts are increasingly felt, the EU should turn climate adaptation from a national responsibility into a genuine European policy. With @guntramwolff.bsky.social
