Ahead of the 2026 State of the European Union address, EiiF has joined a broad coalition of organisations calling on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to launch a comprehensive, science-based plan to make Europe’s current fossil fuel crisis its last.
Read the complete letter: Making this fossil fuel crisis Europe’s last
For EiiF, the first step is a no-brainer: STOP WASTING ENERGY
Today Europe pays for expensive energy imports - and then immediately loses large amounts of energy through industrial inefficiencies, including uninsulated or poorly insulated equipment.
The EiiF White Paper summer edition 2026 shows that better industrial insulation could save up to 120 TWh of energy annually by 2040, reduce emissions by 27 million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent per year and strengthen European energy security and industrial competitiveness.

The solutions already exist.
- Technical insulation is proven and ready to deploy.
- TIPCHECK audits can identify the losses and the video explains in less than 90 seconds how this works.
- EN 17956 provides a harmonised European efficiency standard. Europe’s insulation industry also has the capacity to scale up immediately.
Europe cannot end its dependence on fossil fuels tomorrow. => But it can stop wasting energy today and start to reduce its dependence immediately.
