Europe’s 2026 Work Programme makes clear that energy is the foundation of competitiveness.
Our analysis shows that doing so could create 4.65 million new jobs across the EU by 2050.

President von der Leyen’s State of the Union framed this as Europe’s "independence moment." Clean, affordable, homegrown energy and resilient supply chains are central, with new initiatives on grids, interconnectors and industrial competitiveness.
Our independence depends on our ability to compete in today’s turbulent times.
So we're massively investing in digital and clean tech.
Making business easier. And completing our Single Market.
Competitiveness is also about people and livelihoods.
So we'll put forward measures on affordability and the cost of living ↓
Europe cannot reach its 2040 climate target without decarbonising its industrial clusters. These hubs drive jobs and competitiveness but also account for a large share of hard-to-abate emissions. Tools like the NZIA and Clean Industrial Deal are vital, but delivery is what counts
Clusters need infrastructure, financing, and strong Member State implementation to cut emissions and stay competitive. The proposed Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act is a chance to close these gaps. carbonfreeeurope.org/product…
The UK–Czech SMR agreement is pragmatic climate cooperation in action. By scaling clean firm power and building European supply chains, it boosts energy security and competitiveness.
Net-zero needs every proven clean technology. This is what serious delivery looks like.
The new CISAF framework is a crucial step toward delivering the Clean Industrial Deal.
Its tech inclusive, and our modelling shows that a tech inclusive path is the fastest and most affordable route to net zero.
This is how Europe stays competitive and gets to net zero.
🟢Today we adopt CISAF the State Aid Framework supporting the 🇪🇺 Clean Industrial Deal ♻️
CISAF makes it easier for Member States to accelerate investments in 👇
🔋 Clean energy
🏭 Industry decarbonisation
⚙️ Clean tech manufacturing

A tech-inclusive path to net-zero by 2050 could create 4.65M net new jobs across the EU, 2x more than business as usual.
That’s +2.32M jobs in clean energy, manufacturing & infrastructure.

The Commission’s NECP assessment shows progress but major gaps remain. The numbers matter. But what matters just as much is how we plan to close these gaps.
We need a a technology inclusive strategy that scales all clean solutions
EVP @Teresaibera, Commissioner @DanJoergensen and Commissioner @WBHoekstra met with press this morning to talk about how EU countries’ National Energy and Climate Plans are bringing Europe closer to its 2030 climate and energy goals.

Last week in Brussels, we launched Carbon-Free Europe’s new report on the clean tech marketplace.
The key message: the intersection of politics, security, energy and business is now the sticking point. How we navigate it will shape Europe’s path to lasting prosperity.
Europe’s security, competitiveness and climate goals are intertwined. CFE has joined calls for an EU budget that prioritises clean energy, industrial decarbonisation and fair access for SMEs and households.

We're very sad to see @Breakthrough leave Europe. Their impact on EU climate policy was immeasurable.
As we launch as European, we're proud to carry their momentum forward, putting clean tech at the heart of the path to net zero.

Carbon-Free Europe recently launched our next chapter as an independent, European organisation. This year is all about growth—building our capacity , deepening impact, and helping turn Europe’s clean energy ambition into delivery. Thanks to all who joined us!
Europe doesn’t need to delay climate action, it needs to deliver it smarter. CFE’s modeling shows -90% by 2040 is achievable alongside competitiveness and energy security objectives.
The next decade is our window to scale clean energy, not delay ambition.
The ITRE Committee made it clear: energy-intensive industries are key to Europe’s autonomy, competitiveness, and decarbonisation. To succeed, we need flexible, tech-neutral policies that drive decarbonisation.
Read our take on the CID: carbonfreeeurope.org/product…
The plan focuses on lowering energy costs, completing the Energy Union, attracting investment, and preparing for energy crises. It emphasizes streamlining SMR licensing and strengthening cross-border energy networks.
We welcome these moves, but implementation will be key.
The European Commission just unveiled the Clean Industrial Deal—a major step to secure Europe’s clean tech leadership.
🔹 Scale clean energy & grids ⚡
🔹 Fast-track permitting & investment 🏭
🔹 Unlock private capital 💶
The global race is on. Europe can’t afford to wait.
A strong economy, competitiveness, and a clean future—we're making it happen.
Europe’s rich industrial heritage has a bright future ahead.
The #CleanIndustrialDeal is our plan to support 🇪🇺 industry to make it sustainable, competitive, and future-ready ↓
ALT An illustration split into two contrasting halves. The left side is in grayscale and depicts a polluted, industrialized world with oil pumps, smokestacks emitting thick smoke, cut tree stumps, and a woman driving a car surrounded by pollution. The right side is colorful and represents a clean, sustainable future with wind turbines, solar panels, green hills, trees, and a woman in safety gear working in the renewable energy sector. The text at the top reads 'OUR CHOICE IS CLEAR,' with 'IS CLEAR' highlighted in blue. The European Commission logo is in the top right corner.
The new lineup of the @EU_Commission College of Commissioners is finally here! And they are almost ready to get to work!
At CFE, we are particularly looking forward to hearing more about how Executive Vice President Designate for Clean, Just, and Competitive Transition @Teresaribera plans to enhance EU’s sustainable competitiveness.
Other highlights for us will be the hearings of the returning Commissioner Designate for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth, @WBHoekstra, and Commissioner Designate for Energy and Housing, @DanJoergensen. #Commission #EU #NetZero #Energy
