EU Relaxes Aid Limits to Spur Clean Tech Investment
The European Union relaxed its strict state-aid rules in order to drive government investments into cleaner, less-polluting industries, pitching the bloc as a trailblazer amid increased competition from China and the US.
The EU's executive arm said Wednesday that its new Clean Industrial State Aid framework will support the growth of clean energy, emissions-cutting technologies, and cleaner industrial production. Sectors likely to benefit include green hydrogen producers, steel and cement manufacturers, and energy companies.
