Clean Industrial Deal - a comprehensive strategy for decarbonisation

The agreement will accelerate decarbonisation while securing the future of manufacturing in Europe.
The document is a comprehensive strategy that brings together efforts to decarbonise and increase the competitiveness of European industry, while highlighting the need for a coordinated approach across energy, finance, trade and skills.

Key pillars of the Clean Industrial Deal:

🔌 Cheap energy
▫️ Reducing energy costs for businesses and citizens.
▫️ Stabilising energy prices through more attractive Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
▫️ Shifting to locally produced clean energy:
- Increasing the electrification of the economy from 21.3% to 32% by 2030.
- Install 100 GW of renewable energy per year by 2030.

🗺️ Strengthening markets
▫️ Introduction of sustainability criteria and preference for European products in public procurement.
▫️ New product labels indicating their carbon footprint.
▫️ Target: 40% of key clean technology components to come from the EU.

💶 Funding for change
▫️ More funding for innovation through synergies of existing funding programmes.
▫️ Modification of InvestEU to attract private investment.
▫️ Simplification of state aid rules for decarbonisation.
▫️ Target: mobilisation of over €100 billion for industrial transformation.

♻️ Closed loop and access to raw materials
▫️ Reducing the EU's dependence on imports of critical raw materials through joint purchasing.
▫️ New circular economy regulations to reduce waste and increase recovery of raw materials.
▫️ Target: to increase the use rate of closed-loop materials from 11.8% to 24% by 2030.

🌏 Access to global markets
▫️ Diversify sources of raw materials and export markets through trade agreements and investment partnerships.
▫️ Strengthening protection against production surpluses from other regions.
▫️ Aiming to take as large a share as possible of the global cleantech market, which will reach US$2 trillion by 2035.

👨‍🔧 Improving the skills of workers
▫️ A ‘Skills Union’ will be established to provide skilled workers for strategic industries.
▫️ Support for workers in career transition.
▫️ Aim to reduce the number of occupations affected by skills shortages.

📑 Simplification of regulation
▫️ Reducing bureaucracy and speeding up administrative processes for companies.
▫️ Objective:
- Reduce the time for permitting decarbonisation projects.
- Simplify state aid rules by 2025 to support the energy transition.
