The European Commission has unveiled the Clean Industrial Deal to drive decarbonization and ensure the future of manufacturing in Europe. President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted the need to address obstacles hindering European companies and create a business case for Europe. The Deal targets energy-intensive industries, clean tech, and circularity to maximize resources and reduce dependencies on foreign raw materials. ECSA supports reduced reporting burdens and de-risking investments in fuels for shipping through the European Hydrogen Bank. Danish Shipowners call for increased green fuel production to achieve climate-neutral shipping. Ports back easing permitting procedures, boosting demand for decarbonized products, and focusing on industrial clusters. Hydrogen Europe praises the focus on demand-side measures and incentives for decarbonization projects. The Deal aims to jumpstart Europe's clean technology sectors, including hydrogen, by leveraging the EU's Single Market and strengthening the business case for low-carbon products.
