The European Union may relax its requirement for clean energy in electrification agreements to gain broader support at COP31. Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra emphasized the need for pragmatism, suggesting that using polluting energy sources could be better than fossil fuels. He advocates for a rapid increase in electrification, primarily from renewable sources, while acknowledging the necessity of including some 'grey energy' in the mix. Hoekstra expressed low expectations for the summit due to geopolitical challenges but remains hopeful for positive outcomes regarding electrification.
