The funding targets strategic projects in sectors that play a critical role in Europe\u2019s industrial transformation and net zero ambitions.<\/p>\n Greece\u2019s green transition plan targets clean tech and critical materials<\/p>\n According to the Commission, the Greek program will support investments that create new production capacity or expand existing facilities producing zero-emission technologies. It will also support the use of secondary raw materials, along with specialized key components listed in Annex II of the CISAF<\/a>.<\/p>\n The measure also covers the production of new or recovered critical raw materials needed for finished clean tech products and their core components.<\/p>\n Greece<\/a> will provide the aid through direct grants and tax incentives. The scheme applies to businesses across the country, with support available until December 31, 2030.<\/p>\n EU Says Greece\u2019s green transition scheme meets state aid rules<\/p>\n The Commission said the Greek measure satisfies the conditions set out under the CISAF and should create strong incentives for investment in clean technologies, core industrial components, and critical raw materials.<\/p>\n It also concluded that the scheme is necessary, appropriate, and proportionate to speed up the shift to a zero-emission<\/a> economy while supporting economic activity tied to the EU\u2019s Clean Industrial Deal.<\/p>\n Ribera says plan will expand Greece\u2019s clean tech capacity<\/p>\n
