Understanding the issue
Belgium targets carbon neutrality by 2050 and an emissions cut of about 47% by 2030 (outside the ETS market) versus 2005, in line with the European Green Deal. Nuclear power shapes the debate: Doel 4 and Tihange 3 were extended to 2035-2036, while the phase-out law was repealed. The transition's cost (renovation, renewables, grids) divides two poles: a cautious approach mindful of bills and industry, and a very ambitious one betting on rapid decarbonisation.
