Projectdetails

Introduction

This project aims to launch significant energy efficiency and renewable investment programs through the delivery of scalable financing solutions for sustainable energy investment projects, with a particular emphasis on private sector funds. The objective is to accelerate the clean energy transition at scale, in line with the REPowerEU plan to phase out EU dependence on fossil fuel imports by phasing out the gas consumption of Boortmalts European sites (1 TWh/year) and meeting net-zero across scopes 1 and 2 by 2031.

Project Objectives

More specifically, the implementation of this project aims to:

  1. Develop an innovative financial structure enabling the financial viability of large-scale renewable energy-related investments and accelerate energy transformations at scale.
  2. Develop a new organizational structure to overcome market, organizational, and regulatory barriers.
  3. Promote public/private partnerships between industries and public grid operators leading to innovative energy storage and grid balancing solutions.
  4. Finance the investments through a blend of equity, debt, loans, EPC/ESCO, subsidies, green bonds, etc.
  5. Generate efficiencies in the investment program by setting up a dedicated energy project development unit, bundling investments to improve their bankability, pooling several assets into large-scale investments, and engaging stakeholders to mobilize investments.

Key Drivers

The key driver of this project is to develop a solution that overcomes the barriers to deploying large-scale energy transformation actions, including technology, cost, financing, market, risk, organizational, and regulatory challenges.

Alignment with Funding Scope

As the topic aims to develop replicable solutions that mobilize private and public capital to implement sustainable energy investments, the Mastering Net Zero project is clearly addressing the scope and target sector of LIFE-2022-CET-PDA: Project development assistance for sustainable energy investments topic scope A.
