During the last months, Glass Alliance Europe has been actively engaged in the development of the Master Plan for a competitive transformation of EU EIIs (Energy Intensive Industries) to support a transition towards climate neutrality. The Master Plan suggests actions and indicates areas of policy intervention to encourage innovation, guarantee competitiveness and ensure a successful transition of industry to deliver on the long-term climate goals of Europe.
Europe’s glass products are enablers of a carbon-neutral Europe. However, supportive industrial and climate policies will be vital to prepare the breeding ground for further investments in research and development of net zero carbon products and manufacturing solutions.
