Turning renewable energy into industrial value creation
“Net Zero Valley” is an official status awarded by the European Union – comparable to a coveted European seal of quality for an entire region. Its legal basis is the Net-Zero Industry Act. The aim behind it: Europe wants to once again manufacture more of the key technologies for a clean future itself – such as wind turbines, modern batteries or hydrogen technology – and become more independent.
To obtain this status, regions must apply and demonstrate that they offer special prerequisites. Once a region is designated as a Net Zero Valley, special rules apply there: companies that develop and produce climate-friendly future technologies benefit locally from significantly faster approval procedures, prioritised access to EU funding and optimal conditions for their growth.
