BVES at the EU Net-Zero Tech­no­logy Manu­fac­tu­ring Pro­mo­tion Work­shop: Insights from Brussels

Dis­cus­sions focu­sed as well on the most effec­tive policy opti­ons and regu­la­tory frame­works at natio­nal and EU level, inclu­ding licen­sing pro­ce­du­res, public pro­cu­re­ment, qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons as well as public finan­cing opti­ons and finan­cial instru­ments to attract pri­vate invest­ment in Net Zero tech­no­logy manu­fac­tu­ring pro­jects.

One of the key mes­sa­ges of the work­shop was the importance of energy sto­rage as one of the key Net Zero tech­no­lo­gies with great poten­tial for the EU indus­try. In this area, Ger­many plays a lea­ding role as a pro­duc­tion loca­tion, tech­no­logy deve­lo­per and dri­ver of inno­va­tion. In order to main­tain this tech­no­lo­gi­cal lea­der­ship, it is now cru­cial to actively sup­port the deve­lo­p­ment, mar­ket inte­gra­tion and imple­men­ta­tion of Euro­pean inno­va­tions.

The Net-Zero Indus­try Act sets an ambi­tious tar­get: by 2030, Net-Zero manu­fac­tu­ring capa­city should cover at least 40% of the EU’s annual sup­ply requi­re­ments. This goal is inten­ded to pro­vide manu­fac­tu­r­ers and inves­tors with pre­dic­ta­bi­lity, cer­tainty and long-term signals in order to create a sta­ble envi­ron­ment for growth and inno­va­tion.

BVES remains com­mit­ted to actively sha­ping this pro­cess and is com­mit­ted to future-ori­en­ted and sus­tainable indus­trial deve­lo­p­ment in Europe.
