Working group

FEDARENE’s Working Group on Decarbonisation for Competitiveness is built on a core belief: decarbonisation is the key to ensuring industrial competitiveness in Europe. This initiative connects regional energy agencies, industries and policymakers to turn this belief into concrete results.

Support Capacity Building & Peer Learning
