Tremendous demand for decarbonisation technologies has been created through the setting of ambitious energy and climate policy targets by the European Union under its flagship European Green Deal. Securing domestic supply – of technology, manufacturing and the workforce – to meet this demand is now the priority.
The right regulatory and business environment that mobilises investment, creates jobs and enables frontrunners to get solutions to market faster is key. EIT InnoEnergy supports strong and robust sustainable energy and industrial policies to help accelerate decarbonisation, ensure supply chain resilience, energy affordability and that citizens at large benefit from the green transition.
overall emission reduction target by 2030

of clean tech to be made domestically by 2030
annual use of critical raw materials from recycling by 2030
Increasing demand for RES capacity is today not only driven by the individual consumer, but by industrial manufacturing and other critical sectors such as transport, buildings and construction too. To meet this new demand, we work towards the adaptation of existing energy systems – through electrification or renewable hydrogen for hard-to-abate sectors.
