Carbon-Free Europe Convenes Climate & Trade Leaders for Green Transatlantic Marketplace Discussion

The EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) held its first stakeholder dialogue of 2024 in Washington, DC in January to discuss the creation of a Green Transatlantic Marketplace. This convening included discussions with global leaders on strengthening the transatlantic marketplace to support net-zero economies in the US and EU.

Amid ongoing talks at the TTC, Carbon-Free Europe (CFE), Third Way, and Breakthrough Energy convened clean energy leaders for a panel discussion on opportunities for the US and EU to support the TTC’s efforts to fully integrate a climate and trade market and  support the swift deployment of clean energy technologies.

One of the United States Senate’s foremost clean energy leaders Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) opened the discussion with remarks on the urgency of leveraging the US and EU’s relationship to bolster clean energy trade and cooperation. The conversation continued with a panel on how the EU and the US can strengthen international cooperation to deploy clean energy technologies, led by EU MEP Lidia Pereira, Heather Evans of the International Trade Administration, Marco Margheri of Eni, and Catrina Rorke of the Climate Leadership Council.
