ČEZ CEO says EU’s final taxonomy draft moved in positive direction

Including nuclear and gas among clean energy sources within the EU’s taxonomy guide is a move in a positive direction that could allow the Czech Republic to transition towards an emissions-free economy, ČEZ CEO Daniel Beneš said on Wednesday after the European Commission approved the final draft of the document.

Mr Beneš originally warned against the deadlines for gas and nuclear energy within the first draft of the plan. However, the Commission has since removed some of the deadlines for gas.
