Optimising Europe’s alternative fuel supply will be essential for supporting the uptake of electric and hydrogen vehicles.<\/a><\/p>\n The funding will support 42 projects across the alternative fuel supply chain, which have been selected under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) of the\u00a0Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)<\/a>, the EU funding programme supporting European transport infrastructure.<\/p>\n Director of the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA), Paloma Aba Garrote, commented on the funding: “We continue to support projects of paramount importance to the realisation of the objectives laid out under the EU Green Deal.<\/p>\n “With this new selection, the European Union is showing that a transition to zero-emission transport through alternative fuels is not a dream for the future, but something that is happening now across the EU.”<\/p>\n The aim of the Connecting Europe Facility Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility call for proposals is to assist in the expansion of alternative fuel supply infrastructure, thereby aiding in the reduction of carbon emissions in transportation across the European TEN-T network.<\/p>\n With a total budget of \u20ac1bn allocated for the period of 2024-2025, AFIF finances projects by leveraging CEF grants and support from financial institutions.<\/p>\n This initiative operates through a rolling call for proposals initiated on 29 February 2024, with three deadlines for proposal submissions until the conclusion of 2025.<\/p>\nSupporting Europe’s zero-emission mobility<\/h3>\n
