Policy-mix for R&I investments in deployment and uptake of low-carbon technologies : mutual learning exercise on industrial decarbonisation : second thematic report

This thematic report has been prepared in the context of the Mutual Learning Exercise (MLE) on Industrial Decarbonisation involving 12 committed participating countries. This second thematic report focuses on exploring the building blocks constituting a policy-mix for the effective uptake and deployment of low-carbon technologies. In particular, it focuses on the design and potential impact of national support programmes and initiatives, as well as support for industrial decarbonisation and demonstration projects under the Recovery and Resilience Facility, state aid programs and regulatory framework, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise support programmes, European Regional Development Fund, among others. It also explores and discusses various financing instruments as well as the mobilisation of public and private research and innovation investments for climate neutrality (e.g., investment pipelines, First-Of-A-Kind installations, and Important Projects of Common European Interest).
