European Commission Prepares Clean Industrial Deal

The European Commission is set to unveil its Clean Industrial Deal, aimed at enhancing Europe's industrial competitiveness while achieving climate neutrality. This deal, a key priority for the Commission, involves various EU leaders and focuses on reducing emissions, boosting net-zero industries, and fostering green technology manufacturing. In contrast, the U.S. has seen a significant shift in clean energy production, with record outputs in solar panels and batteries due to targeted industrial policies. The Biden administration's efforts, including tariffs and substantial investments through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, have strengthened the domestic supply chain for clean energy technologies. Meanwhile, the U.S. General Services Administration has made its largest-ever clean energy procurement, emphasizing nuclear energy's role in achieving carbon-free electricity by 2030. As the global landscape evolves, both Europe and the U.S. are striving to lead in the transition to sustainable energy solutions.
