Zero Carbon Infrastructure

ongoing

ZCI will strengthen the role of 8 Public Authorities to accelerate the provision of zero carbon infrastructure by increasing their capacity and working with private and public stakeholders, and provide capacity-building support for others. The EU has set ambitious targets to decarbonise transport, requiring radical changes to the whole ecosystem. The recent dramatic developments in the geo-political situation in Europe highlight the need to accelerate this transition away from fossil fuels. Public authorities should be the “first mover” in this. If they can help to make the energy supply-chain ready, the market will be energised – vehicle-makers and users will make the switch.
