First leaks of the EU Net Zero Industry Act are out. Here is what to expect for the official draft proposal on March 14th: #GreenDealIndustrialPlan#NZIA#IRA
European manufacturing capacity shall be scaled up for the following technologies👇(1/13)
Manufacturing capacity objectives within the EU by 2030 (3/13):
- Binding overall target: at least 40% of the Union’s annual deployment needs
- indicative targets for specific tech: wind turbines (85%), solar PV (40%), heat pumps (65%), batteries (85%), electrolysers (50%)
Fast-tracking permitting (4/13):
- tech within scope of this regulation receive status of "overriding public interest"
- max of 9 months for single projects <1 GW, 12 for >1GW
- max of 12 months for single projects <1 GW, 18 for >1GW
- upper limits apply for CCS, nuclear, grids
One Stop Shops (5/13)
- within 3 months after regulation enters into force, Member States shall designate one stop shop for permit-granting process for net-zero technology manufacturing projects
- permit-granting process is carried out electronically
- COM will provide guidelines
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIP) and Public Authorisation (6/13):
- EIP shall not exceed a period of 30 days from the date of project submission
- also the timeframes for consulting the public shall not exceed 30 days
Net-Zero Industry Valleys (NZIV) (7/13):
- MS shall identify NZIV: e.g. multiple use areas, areas with access to transportation & network infrastructure, coal regions in transition
- for projects located in a NZIV permitting is shortened by another 6 months (vs times above 👆)
Regulatory sandboxes (8/13):
- MS shall provide a controlled environment facilitating testing & validation of innovative tech (TRL 5-8) for a limited time before placement on market
- Companies can apply for a regulatory sandbox justifying the exemption from existing provisions
Financing (9/13):
- MS shall provide financial support to address
financing gaps such as (a) guarantees to decrease borrowing costs (b) off-take guarantees for tech made in Europe
- MS shall allocate at least XX% (still tbd)of national revenues from EU ETS allowances until 2030
Financing Part II (10/13):
- COM shall set Innovation Fund auctions to allocate grants to Net Zero industry projects
- COM shall set up targeted investment platforms & cooperate with implementing partners under the InvestEU regime with the aim of establishing blending facilities
Green Public Procurement (11/13):
- procurement shall be based on
a) environmental performance
b) security of supply (15 - 40 % of the award criteria)
--> products proportion originating in third countries, possible changes in its supply chain affecting execution of contract
Environmental criteria in RES tenders (12/13):
- MS shall use env. criteria (still tbd) in public tender schemes for RES
- the criteria shall weigh 15% - 40% of total the selection criteria
- also household support schemes shall require purchase of net-zero industry products
Governance (13/13):
- annual progress reports with respect to manufacturing capacity objectives mentioned above
- MS shall take into consideration Regulation [NZIA] when preparing their national energy and climate plans

Die energieintensive #Industrie ist immer noch sehr fossil geprägt und muss seine #Emissionen mit Blick auf #Klimaziele drastisch senken. Daher legt das @bmu aktuell ein „Carbon Contracts for Difference“ #CCfD Programm zur Finanzierung klimaneutraler Produktionsprozesse auf (1/6)
Zielsektoren: Anfangs ist die Förderung auf Sektoren Stahl, Zement, Kalk und Ammoniak beschränkt, kann aber perspektivisch auf weitere Sektoren ausgeweitet werden. (2/6)
Förderhöhe: über "Klimaschutzverträge" (Laufzeit 10 Jahre) kompensiert der Staat die Mehrkosten des Betriebs von neuen, klimaneutralen Produktionsverfahren ggü fossiler Referenzroute (d.h. Differenz zwischen CO2-Vermeidungskosten des neuen Verfahrens und EU ETS - Preis). (3/6)
