“The fact that gas and nuclear energy have been included on the list is actually the result of political horse trading. I don’t think, for example, that as far as nuclear energy is concerned, such a green label will make it easier to find investors. Nuclear plants are difficult projects to finance.”
There are conditions attached to the inclusion of gas and nuclear energy in the list. For example, the latest technology must be used for nuclear energy and there must also be a concrete plan for the treatment of nuclear waste. Stricter emission standards are being set for gas.
“It is also the case that, for example, gas-fired power stations that are considered necessary for energy security will be built anyway, without taking the taxonomy into account. The gas-fired power stations that will be built in our country, for example, do not meet the emission standards and will therefore not be green. get a label, but are built anyway, so the European taxonomy is really a symbol file.”
