The European Commission just unveiled the Clean Industrial Deal—a major step to secure Europe’s clean tech leadership. 🔹 Scale clean energy & grids ⚡ 🔹 Fast-track permitting & investment 🏭 🔹 Unlock private capital 💶 The global race is on. Europe can’t afford to wait.

The plan focuses on lowering energy costs, completing the Energy Union, attracting investment, and preparing for energy crises. It emphasizes streamlining SMR licensing and strengthening cross-border energy networks. We welcome these moves, but implementation will be key.

The ITRE Committee made it clear: energy-intensive industries are key to Europe’s autonomy, competitiveness, and decarbonisation. To succeed, we need flexible, tech-neutral policies that drive decarbonisation. Read our take on the CID: carbonfreeeurope.org/product/europe…

Europe doesn’t need to delay climate action, it needs to deliver it smarter. CFE’s modeling shows -90% by 2040 is achievable alongside competitiveness and energy security objectives. The next decade is our window to scale clean energy, not delay ambition.

Carbon-Free Europe recently launched our next chapter as an independent, European organisation. This year is all about growth—building our capacity , deepening impact, and helping turn Europe’s clean energy ambition into delivery. Thanks to all who joined us!

We're very sad to see Breakthrough Energy leave Europe. Their impact on EU climate policy was immeasurable. As we launch as European, we're proud to carry their momentum forward, putting clean tech at the heart of the path to net zero. sifted.eu/articles/bill-…

Europe’s security, competitiveness and climate goals are intertwined. CFE has joined calls for an EU budget that prioritises clean energy, industrial decarbonisation and fair access for SMEs and households. Read the open letter: carbonfreeeurope.org/product/a-targ…

Last week in Brussels, we launched Carbon-Free Europe’s new report on the clean tech marketplace. The key message: the intersection of politics, security, energy and business is now the sticking point. How we navigate it will shape Europe’s path to lasting prosperity.

The Commission’s NECP assessment shows progress but major gaps remain. The numbers matter. But what matters just as much is how we plan to close these gaps. We need a a technology inclusive strategy that scales all clean solutions

A tech-inclusive path to net-zero by 2050 could create 4.65M net new jobs across the EU, 2x more than business as usual. That’s +2.32M jobs in clean energy, manufacturing & infrastructure. Read our new report: carbonfreeeurope.org/product/decarb…

The new CISAF framework is a crucial step toward delivering the Clean Industrial Deal. Its tech inclusive, and our modelling shows that a tech inclusive path is the fastest and most affordable route to net zero. This is how Europe stays competitive and gets to net zero.

The UK–Czech SMR agreement is pragmatic climate cooperation in action. By scaling clean firm power and building European supply chains, it boosts energy security and competitiveness. Net-zero needs every proven clean technology. This is what serious delivery looks like.

Europe’s 2026 Work Programme makes clear that energy is the foundation of competitiveness. Our analysis shows that doing so could create 4.65 million new jobs across the EU by 2050. Read how: carbonfreeeurope.org/product/decarb…
