The EU invests more than 10 billion euros into innovative clean technologies

The European Commission has announced a multi-sector investment program worth more than 10 billion euros (about 3200 billion HUF) to develop and deliver low-carbon technologies to increase Europe’s global competitiveness – the EU Committee announced on Tuesday.

Miguel Arias Canete, European Commissioner for Climate and Energy Policy, said that the European Union’s innovative climate measures to prevent climate change have an immediate, tangible impact on the environment and have many benefits for health and well-being. The initiatives to be supported under the program – from green jobs, through more efficient public transport systems in cities, to low-energy homes – help to use green energy and other resources.
