What changed
The Commission published its decision authorising France's €2.5 billion State aid scheme for large industrial decarbonisation projects. The scheme provides direct grants to manufacturing firms undertaking decarbonation projects, funded through ADEME under the France 2030 programme. The Commission found the measure compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU and raised no objections.
Manufacturing firms operating in France should monitor programme eligibility criteria published by ADEME and Bpifrance. The scheme runs until 30 December 2027, with aid administered by the French Ministry of Economy. This represents a significant funding opportunity for decarbonisation investments in the French industrial sector.
