Definition. Europe must cut CO₂ emissions 55% by 2030 against 1990. That target means not only the energy savings from insulation count, but also the CO₂ released in producing the insulation material itself; material choice becomes a climate decision.
That is why the study compares insulation materials on their production CO₂, not only on their insulation value. New Economy’s circular insulation study for Amsterdam reports this.
