The Public Loan Facility complements the two other pillars of the Just Transition Mechanism, the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and a dedicated just transition scheme under InvestEU. It helps to address the socio-economic challenges of the transition to climate neutrality in the most affected territories as identified in the territorial Just Transition Plans.
The InvestEU Fund is a market-based and demand-driven instrument, with a strong emphasis on EU policy priorities. It supports the following 4 Policy Windows:
• Sustainable infrastructure
Financing projects in sustainable energy, digital connectivity, transport, the circular economy, water, waste, other environment infrastructure and more.
• Research, innovation and digitalisation
The Technical Assistance Projects (TA projects) may include the following:
1. Projects for the preparation of SNAPs or SIPs (TA-PP).
These projects are aimed at providing financial support to help applicants to prepare a SNAP or a SIP for a maximum LIFE contribution of EUR 70 000. They represent the continuation of the technical assistance projects financed under the LIFE programme 2014-2020.
European Energy Efficiency Fund – Technical Assistance Facility (eeef - TA) supports projects in the sector of energy efficiency and partly small-scale renewable energy
Since 2002, URBACT has been driving change all over Europe by enabling the cooperation and idea exchange amongst cities within thematic networks, by building the skills of local stakeholders in the design and implementation of integrated and participatory policies, and by sharing knowledge and good city practices.
The Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programmes for the deployment of net-zero and innovative technologies.
The Innovation Fund is the EU fund for climate policy, with a focus on energy and industry. It aims to bring to the market solutions to decarbonise European industry and support its transition to climate neutrality while fostering its competitiveness.
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation.
It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports the creation and better diffusion of excellent knowledge and technologies.
Renewable Energy Financing Mechanism (RENEWFM)
The EU Renewable Energy Financing Mechanism (RENEWFM) supports new renewable energy projects. It encourages a greater uptake of renewable energy sources across the EU. This will help the EU to achieve its target of the renewable energy share in the final energy consumption by 2030 in a cooperative and cost-effective manner.
Objectives of the EU renewable energy financing mechanism
The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) is a key EU funding instrument to promote growth, jobs and competitiveness through targeted infrastructure investment at European level. It supports the development of high performing, sustainable and efficiently interconnected trans-European networks in the fields of transport, energy and digital services. CEF investments fill the missing links in Europe's energy, transport and digital backbone.
