The Clean Industrial Deal, presented by the European Commission on 26 February 2025, is an ambitious action plan aimed at strengthening the competitiveness and resilience of European industry while accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.  This initiative builds on the objectives of the European Green Deal and introduces concrete measures to promote decarbonisation and boost economic growth.

Clean Industrial Deal objectives and measures

One of the key points of the Clean Industrial Deal is to lower energy prices and reduce administrative burdens for companies, especially for energy-intensive sectors and clean technologies. It also aims to boost demand for sustainable, EU-made products by introducing sustainability, resilience and European preference criteria in both public and private tenders.
