Study on Green Industrial Policy in Europe - mapping policy options for a European Green Industrial Policy in line with the Paris Agreement

P. Linares T. Gerres

November 2021 - December 2021

Funding entity The Greens/EFA in the European Parliament


Given the life cycle of assets within the emission-intensive heavy industries, the EU has just one investment cycle to shift production processes to achieve domestic climate neutrality by 2050.
A new Green Industrial Policy has to set a clear direction for industry, investors, workers, and regions particularly affected by the industrial transition by tackling the major challenges ahead.
This study will provide the basis for a political debate on the formulation of a new deal for the industry by mapping the main challenges for heavy to decarbonise, policy options and their translation into EU law and policy pathways for industrial sectors (steel, cement and chemicals).
