About Us

Vision

We are working towards a future where climate and energy policy across Europe is evidence-based, existing carbon-free solutions are rapidly deployed, and investment is readily available for the next generation technologies needed to get all the way to net-zero by 2050.

Mission

To galvanise support across Europe for an ambitious decarbonisation agenda that includes every carbon-free energy technology.

About

Carbon-Free Europe (CFE) is an independent NGO accelerating Europe’s clean energy transition through world-class energy systems modelling and strategic policy engagement. Originally launched by Third Way at COP26, CFE is now a fully European organisation. We are expanding our presence across Brussels, EU Member States and the UK to support cross-border collaboration on climate, competitiveness and energy security.

CFE fills a critical gap in the EU policy landscape by delivering robust, technology-inclusive, and evidence-led analysis to support pragmatic, tailored pathways to net-zero. Our flagship Annual Decarbonisation Perspective (ADP) is Brussels’ most advanced and accessible modelling of the European energy system, trusted by policymakers to shape major initiatives including the Clean Industrial Deal, Net-Zero Industry Act, and national energy and climate plans.

We turn complex systems data into clear, actionable insights, ensuring leaders can match ambition with implementation. CFE champions a technology-neutral approach as the fastest, most cost-effective way to decarbonise while strengthening Europe’s industrial base and reducing exposure to volatile energy markets.
