European industry is going through a period of fundamental change. Rising (not only) energy costs, the pressure of global competition and, above all, new public expectations and the requirements of EU environmental regulation. All of these factors are putting pressure on the current EU industrial environment, which is looking for new ways to optimise production processes, reduce costs and meet regulatory obligations.
In response to this, the European Commission has introduced key new EU initiatives over the past year to help European industry strengthen its position in the global marketplace and address current challenges. A key element is support for businesses that invest in modernising and improving the efficiency and sustainability of their operations or are directly involved in the production of clean technologies that help accelerate energy transition and decarbonisation.
These technologies include solar and wind power plants, battery storage, electrolysers, heat pumps or carbon capture and storage technologies.
The main framework for support in currently emerging from the European Clean Industrial Deal (CID), a new package of legislative and financial instruments adopted in February 2025.
The CID offers businesses access to cost relief in the form of more favourable tax regimes or reductions in regulated charges for electricity consumption at off-take sites. Businesses can also expect to have access to direct financial incentives, faster and easier administrative permits for various technology and energy projects, and more stable conditions for investment.
What are the main goals and instruments of the proposed Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act (IDAA)? What is the planned amount that the European Commission intends to allocate for decarbonisation projects, and which institution will be responsible for managing these funds?
