To streamline the application process, new regulations are being introduced that cut down on red tape and make access to funding more straightforward. The scope of support has also been expanded to include key sectors such as agriculture and the agri-food industry, encouraging them to adopt sustainable and competitive energy solutions.
Under the scheme, projects can receive up to €20 million in state aid, provided that at least 70% of the energy generated is used for self-consumption. The financial support per megawatt (MW) installed varies depending on the technology:
In a parallel initiative, an additional €150 million from the Modernisation Fund is being made available to companies operating under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Eligible sectors include steel, cement, oil and gas, and power generation—industries with high emissions profiles.
This funding can be used for investments in carbon capture, storage, utilisation (CCS/CCU), and transportation technologies, as well as for the adoption of best available technologies (BAT) aimed at reducing energy consumption. Each project or company may receive up to €30 million in aid, covering a significant portion of eligible costs for emissions-reducing equipment.
Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja emphasised the government’s commitment to working closely with stakeholders to design effective support mechanisms and ensure the success of decarbonisation and energy efficiency initiatives.
OMV reports a 25% boost in project value through a groundbreaking AI partnership with Stanford and TerraAI. Focused on optimizing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Norway, the analytical AI tool allows engineers to explore millions of geological scenarios in real-time, drastically reducing development timelines and subsurface risks.
