A panel of sustainable finance experts consulted by the European Commission has thrown a spanner in the works over the proposal by the EU executive to define natural gas and nuclear power as 8220 ustainable.The suggestion, made by the commission over the Christmas and new year break, that fossil fuel gas and low-carbon energy source nuclear be included in the EU taxonomy of sustainable energy sources has proved hugely controversial.Late on Friday night, the Platform on Sustainable Finance body of experts consulted by the commission on the topic roundly criticized the idea gas and nuclear be considered sustainable.Panel member Sandrine Dixson-Decl猫ve said gas and nuclear projects contravene the central requirement that EU energy projects do no significant harm, to the bloc s environmental and climate change ambitions.Dixson-Decl猫ve, co-president of the Swiss-based Club of Rome thinktank whic <a href=Link cup</a> h includes current and former heads of state and other high-ranking politicians alongside sci <a href=Link cup</a> entists, diplomats, economists and business leaders, said the commission s draft Complementary Delegated Act, issued on Dec. 31 and passed to the panel for feedback, should be paused.
