our platform endorses the essential aspects of the Net-Zero Industry Act and Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform legislation
The European Commission has taken a significant step forward in the implementation of the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) and the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) regulations. The NZIA aims to reduce permitting procedures for strategic net-zero facilities, while the STEP could mobilize public funding for NZIA technologies. The European Commission is mandated to table secondary legislation within nine months of the NZIA and STEP entering into force to further define the list of net-zero technologies and components.
To ensure the comprehensiveness of the delegated act of the NZIA, the Commission has initiated a supply chain analysis. This analysis is focused on the NZIA and is a proactive measure to ensure the act adequately addresses all necessary technologies and components. The analysis aims to ensure that the delegated act addresses relevant technologies and components, such as hydrogen storage systems, electric propulsion, and other hydrogen technologies, in addition to battery and fuel cells.
The final text of the NZIA recognizes these technologies as net-zero technologies. The supply chain analysis is a crucial part of the process, as it will help the Commission to further define the list of net-zero technologies and components in a way that supports the European Union's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
The supply chain analysis is a significant step in the implementation of the NZIA and STEP regulations. It demonstrates the Commission's commitment to a green and sustainable future for the European Union and its members. As the NZIA and STEP regulations come into force, the European Commission will continue to work towards a carbon-neutral future, supporting the development and deployment of net-zero technologies and facilities across the continent.
