CECE tackles decarbonisation through a dedicated Task Force
Last week, CECE held the first meeting of its Decarbonisation Task Force (CO2TF). The CO2TF counts about 29 members working for a variety of Original Equipment Manufacturers and representing their national trade associations.
This new working group will build upon CECE decarbonisation position paper of 2021 and, predominantly, its 4-pillar approach. Focusing on the strategic orientations of CECE on sustainability matters, the CO2TF will not carry out any technical regulatory work in order to avoid overlapping with the work of CECE Project Teams (PTs). The CO2TF takes over from the former High-Level Group on CO2 (HLCO2) which ceases its functions.
Furthermore, the CO2TF will leverage the expertise of its members to consolidate CECE Matrix of alternative fuels for construction equipment in keeping with the principle of technological neutrality. The CO2TF will also deal with areas such as low or net zero CO2 enablers in addition to conducting research on existing practices of Product Carbon Footprint calculation.
Against the backdrop of the campaign for the 2024 European Parliament elections, the CO2TF will contribute input to CECE Manifesto and will develop follow-up advocacy work upon establishment of the new European Commission for 2024-2029.
CO2TF Chair and Vice-Chair have yet to be appointed. The CO2TF will meet at least twice a year whether online, in person or in hybrid format.
