Analysis

Ensuring resilience in Europe’s energy transition

Europe can make critical value chains in the transition to climate neutrality more resilient by ensuring minimum levels of domestic clean-tech manufacturing. This report provides a thorough assessment of EU-manufacturing for solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, heat pumps and electrolysers and calculates the amount of public funding needed to achieve the recommended shares. It proposes a policy package to complement the EU Net-Zero Industry Act which includes sufficient funding and aims to safeguard the clean-tech sector’s long-term competitiveness.
