About Bellona
Achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050 requires radical cuts in emissions in every sector of the economy. It is crucial to enable and incentivise a just and green transition by creating, ensuring and safeguarding well-functioning sustainable markets in line with net-zero by 2050. For Bellona, this is crucial across topical areas such as renewables deployment, grids, hydrogen, CO2 capture and storage, carbon dioxide removal and lead markets for low-carbon products.
As an environmental organisation, Bellona Europa has always been at the forefront of environmental innovation and industrial decarbonisation. Being a group of evidence-based environmentalists, our goal is to implement new, more sustainable actions to rapidly reduce manmade climate breakdown. We advocate for pragmatic approaches that deliver the greatest impact, today and tomorrow. As a watchdog against greenwashing, unafraid to address contentious issues, we also endeavour to cooperate with all stakeholders interested and serious in delivering immediate climate action.
From our Oslo and Brussels Offices, and more recently Berlin and Vilnius offices, we have been advocating for transformative climate action for decades.
