The funding is allocated for 5 works proposals and for 36 studies. Nearly \u20ac750 million of the funding is earmarked for 8 electricity grid projects including offshore and smart electricity grids.<\/p>\n<p>The largest grant of \u20ac645 million will support the Bornholm Energy Island project for the construction of an innovative, first-of-a-kind hybrid interconnector in the Baltic Sea that allows both to link Denmark and Germany and to integrate 3 GW of offshore windfarm capacity. Another grant for construction works of almost \u20ac33 million will go to Danube InGrid, a cross-border smart electricity project between Hungary and Slovakia that will integrate renewable energy and more efficiently balance the system. The other 6 projects, located in Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Slovakia, and Spain, will receive grants for support studies.<\/p>\n<p>To help decarbonise EU industry, hydrogen infrastructure will benefit from grants for 21 development studies amounting to over \u20ac250 million. This will help to alleviate investment risks associated with this nascent market and complement the hydrogen policy framework introduced in the Hydrogen and decarbonised gas market package. The grants are intended for projects in Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden: notably the BarMar-H2med project between Spain and France, the backbone projects in Italy, Portugal and Spain, and the hydrogen corridors and routes in the Baltic region.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, funding worth \u20ac250 million will support the construction of 3 projects and the financing of 9 preparatory studies for CO2 infrastructure. The Prinos storage facility in Northern Greece will be awarded almost \u20ac120 million, thus contributing to the first carbon capture and storage value chain in the South-Eastern Mediterranean region. A second grant, for works worth \u20ac55 million, is destined for construction works of the North Sea L10 CO2 storage facility on the Dutch continental shelf. A third grant, for works of just below \u20ac12 million, will be awarded to the Norne CO2 facility in Denmark. CEF-funded CO2 projects are set to contribute to the 2030 target of 50 million tonnes of annual CO2 injection capacity as underlined in the Net Zero Industry Act.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cinea.ec.europa.eu\/news-events\/news\/cef-energy-launches-eu850-million-call-energy-infrastructure-projects-2024-04-11_en\">2024 call for CEF funding<\/a><br \/>\nSource: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eubusiness.com\/energy\/eu-invests-over-e1-2-billion-in-cross-border-energy-infrastructure\/\">EUbusiness<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/eu-invests-over-e1-2-billion-in-cross-border-energy-infrastructure\/\">EU invests over \u20ac1.2 billion in cross-border energy infrastructure<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17802,575,274],"class_list":["post-137180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-cross-border-energy-infrastructure","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
