However, to ensure the legitimacy and effectiveness of this initiative, it is recommended that the Commission deepen its analysis of the distributive risks of the transition, enhance transparency in the prioritization of sectors and projects, and ensure equitable access to…

SBP welcomes the European Commissions efforts to accelerate industrial decarbonisation and supports the introduction of robust carbon intensity labelling as a mechanism to drive transparency, accountability, and investment in lower-emission pathways.

Ragn-Sell has developed a technology that, by extracting calcium oxide from oil shale ash and combining it with carbon dioxide, can produce precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). The PCC can then be used to produce new products (flooring, paints, and other construction materials), products that today are produced primarily from mined limestone.

Essential goals for the European Union on strengthening Europes resilience and achieving carbon neutrality must not come at the expense of the EUs social and biodiversity objectives, nor those of the wider world. While decarbonisation is crucial for mitigating climate change, it is important to recognize that the pursuit of lower carbon emissions can sometimes lead to unintended negative consequences.

Hexagon Group, a global leader in clean mobility solutions and high-pressure alternative fuel systems, strongly supports the European Commissions ambitions to accelerate industrial decarbonisation through the proposed Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act (IDAA).

Shipping is crucial to the CCUS value chain, as CO2 transport relies heavily on maritime transport. To realise the potential of CCUS and sup-port the green transition, it is essential that the proposed plan ensures a well-functioning internal market for maritime CO2 transport.

The Danish Standards Foundation's consultation response to the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act (IDAA) The Danish Standards Foundation (DS), thanks the European Commission for the opportunity to contribute to the consultation. Please find attached the full response.

The Global Steel Climate Council (GSCC) welcomes the European Commissions initiative on the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act. We strongly support its ambition to accelerate decarbonisation across energy-intensive industries while ensuring industrial competitiveness and resilience.

Region Skåne thanks for the opportunity to express its views on the EU’s important work to accelerate the decarbonisation of industry. The Skåne Region’s work in the region of Skåne is responsible for care, health and public transport, as well as a coordinating responsibility for Skåne’s development.

Under paragraph 2, Luxembourg would like to highlight the importance of the inclusion of hydrogen readiness. As long as the necessary hydrogen supply network is missing, invest into intermediate solutions should still be stimulated in order to facility easy conversion upon hydrogen availability. Under paragraph 3, Luxembourg would like to better understand the definition and intent of lead markets.

- Permitting bottlenecks needs to be solved by including fast-tracking for projects that have co-benefits for the energy system. - Prioritize European technology in funding and other incentive schemes to boost demand - Energy efficiency and electrification is the main leveller for a competitive decarbonization. Energy intensity of products should be included in low-carbon labelling.

Policy Paper Heat Pumps and ‘On-Site’ Waste Heat Recovery – delivering Competitiveness through Heating and Cooling Decarbonization Introduction This paper highlights how heat pumps can play a dramatic role not only in decarbonizing a significant portion of Europe’s industry heating and cooling needs but to ultimately drive competitiveness.

The VKI welcomes in principle the Commission’s objective of supporting the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries with a targeted legal framework. The industry recognises the need to swiftly and effectively pursue the transition path towards climate neutrality. However, it must be ensured that competitiveness, security of supply and technology-open solutions are taken into account.

Contribution on the decarbonisation of companies from a VPE/SME perspective. As leader of a VPE active in industrial rabotage, timber and materials trading, I would like to highlight several major bottlenecks that limit the ability of small companies to effectively embark on their transition to decarbonisation: Lack of access to clear and practical information VSEs/SMEs have very little precise and easily accessible…

Heat accounts for almost 70 % of industry’s energy consumption and it is still very much carbon-intensive (95 %). The willingness of industrialists to move towards decarbonisation is real. The problem is economic: do they have competitive solutions that enable them to decarbonise without hampering their development?

Energy, especially availability of cheap electricity is key. Why would the EU not only coordinate and fund a massive investment plan that builds an EU wide electricity-grid, but would also allow up to 100% state funding for construction of power plants, grids near or to industrial areas, or even enforce this? We cannot all expect this grid to magically appear, paid for by neighboring countries.

H2SITE is an innovative SME active in hydrogen purification and production. As such, H2SITE contributes directly to industrial decarbonisation by enabling access to clean hydrogen where and when it is needed even in hard-to-abate or distributed contexts. 1.
