Description
Efficient delivery of the quantified objectives by the end of the project.
Objective:Projects under the Climate Change Mitigation Priority Area will support the implementation of the European Green Deal by contributing to the objectives and targets set out in the EU Climate Law and to the intermediate Union climate target to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030.
Scope:Areas of intervention:
- Recovery, recycle and reclamation of ozone-depleting substances in foams and suitability of alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases and their recovery, reclamation and recycling;
- Actions to support the shift to zero-emission mobility in road transport;
- Decarbonising other transport modes, fostering intermodality and modal shift;
- Increase the generation and use of renewable energy and improvement of energy efficiency;
- Actions which reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in industrial production and waste management;
- Development and implementation of land and coastal management practices which have an impact on emissions and carbon removals, including the conservation and enhancement of natural carbon sinks in soils and forests and the storage of carbon in long-lasting products;
- Industrial solutions for carbon removal, carbon capture and use and/or storage.
