Low-carbon transition has slowly disappeared from the headlines, but the capital flowing into it continues to accelerate.
Since the 2025 Clean Industrial Deal, the narrative has shifted from mere emissions reduction to a strategy of industrial survival. Europe currently faces a structural dilemma: high dependency on non-EU supply chains combined with aggressive, state-subsidized competition from abroad.
To remain viable, Europe is pivoting toward a policy of ‘active resilience.’ Public funding has become a critical tool designed to bridge the gap between R&D, scaling, and market deployment. For firms, the current landscape means that decarbonisation is an opportunity to secure the capital needed for long-term reindustrialisation and operational longevity, no longer a regulatory burden to manage.
How can you fund your low-carbon transition projects?
This white paper explores how the low carbon transition landscape is being reshaped by new industrial policies and the funding tools available to finance it. In particular:
1. Understand EU public policies to adapt your funding strategy
Decarbonisation funding is growing, but what was once a climate agenda is becoming Europe’s primary lever for industrial resilience and strategic sovereignty.
It is no longer enough to be carbon-efficient: companies must also prove they create tangible economic value if they want to access public funding.
Our experts detail how companies can align their decarbonisation roadmap with the new wave of EU industrial funding, turning this policy shift into a competitive advantage.
2. The technical levers of industrial decarbonisation
Identifying and implementing the technical challenges and levers – like energy efficiency, electrification, carbon capture, or alternative fuels – is key to prioritise investments and manage corporate and financial risk.
This part gives a clear overview and examples, on technologies that bring rapid action, as well as exploring some carbon-neutral business models. Through concrete steps, our experts make recommendations on how to initiate this transformation.
3. European financing budgets
This section focuses on the relevant European public funding programmes that target industrial decarbonisation: Horizon Europe, Just Transition Fund, Connecting Europe Facility, …
