Spain Secures €72.7 Million for Sustainable Transport Infrastructure Expansion
Key Ideas
  • Spain has been granted €72.7 million from the Connecting Europe Facility for the deployment of alternative fuel supply infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen refuelling stations.
  • Eight projects, involving Spanish and EU companies, will install 589 electric charging points and 26 hydrogen stations to promote low-emission transport.
  • The grants aim to mobilise nearly €400 million in investment in Spain, focusing on sustainable and low-emission transport solutions.
  • Proposals include the electrification of terminals in major Spanish ports like Barcelona, Valencia, and Gijón, with a focus on alternative fuel supply like ammonia and methanol.
Spain has secured €72.7 million in European funds from the Connecting Europe Facility for the development of alternative fuel supply infrastructure as part of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF). The funding will support the deployment of 589 electric vehicle charging points and 26 hydrogen refuelling stations across the Trans-European Transport Network. This initiative aims to promote sustainable and low-emission transport in Spain by facilitating the growth of alternative fuel refuelling and charging stations. The projects, which involve collaboration between Spanish companies and other EU entities, are expected to attract a total investment of nearly €400 million in the country. Additionally, the grants will contribute to the decarbonisation of ports, including initiatives for ammonia and methanol supply in key ports like Barcelona, Valencia, and Gijón. The competitive selection process for the grants emphasizes criteria such as impact, relevance, and maturity of the projects. The call for proposals is part of a broader effort to encourage the adoption of alternative fuels and advance sustainable transport infrastructure in Spain and other EU countries.
