Last Wednesday, Ursula von der Leyen presented the guidelines of the new strategy that Europe wants to follow to boost industries of clean technologies and energies.

The main objective is to have member states grant tax exemptions for green investments in strategic sectors to prevent companies from leaving Europe and seeking more lenient jurisdictions in this regard.

The European Commission also intends to include a “zero-emissions industry law” that is meant to increase the production of clean technologies by 2030, which will be accompanied by a critical raw materials law to reduce dependence on certain countries such as China in the supply of elements like lithium, in order to promote their extraction or recycling in Europe.
