The European Commission has selected 70 projects to help decarbonise transport and strengthen the competitiveness of EU industries by installing the infrastructure needed for recharging or refuelling the different transport modes.

The projects will receive more than €600m in funding from the Connecting Europe Facility to stimulate sustainable investments in urban areas, including ports and airports, as well as along road sections of the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).

The supported projects are located across Europe. For example, 24 ports will receive funds to deploy onshore power supply, to green their port operations, and to invest in ammonia bunkering infrastructure. These measures will help the sector transition to renewable and low-carbon fuels, which is a priority supported by the recent Sustainable Transport Investment Plan).

Meanwhile, the network of publicly available charging points along the TEN-T will grow by more than 500 locations with the introduction of new charging infrastructure for lorries, including megawatt chargers. 

Commissioner for sustainable transport and tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas said: "We are currently supporting 70 projects with €600m in EU funding to accelerate the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure across Europe. These investments will strengthen our competitiveness and help make the transition to zero-emission mobility easier and more accessible for all citizens."
