THE European Commission announced the selection of 39 innovative projects to receive EUR422 million (US$437 million) in funding from the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF), reports St Petersburg's PortNews.
These projects, spanning across the EU, will focus on deploying crucial infrastructure for alternative fuels in road, maritime, and air transport.
This investment will support the installation of public electric recharging stations, including high-power megawatt chargers for both heavy-duty and light-duty vehicles.
It will also fund the development of hydrogen refuelling stations, onshore power installations in ports, airport electrification, and infrastructure for alternative fuels such as ammonia and methanol for shipping.
"The 39 projects we are supporting today, will accelerate the deployment of critical recharging and refuelling infrastructure needed for our expanding zero-emission fleets," said Sustainable Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas.
"Together, they will add nearly 5,000 new charging points, including 626 mega-watt chargers, helping citizens choose zero-emission vehicles and contribute to a cleaner environment."
AFIF operates under a continuous rolling call for proposals, enabling the regular funding of new and innovative projects throughout the year. The current call, launched on February 29, 2024, has now concluded its first evaluation round.
The next cut-off date will be on 11 June 11, with EUR578 million in funding still available for successful proposals.
