Green molecules – How can they strengthen Europe’s energy security and industrial competitiveness?

Watch the recording



Europe’s renewed exposure to geopolitical instability has underscored the urgency of reducing its dependence on imported fossil fuels. Ensuring a resilient, sustainable and secure energy supply is now a central pillar of the EU’s economic and strategic agenda. In this context, green molecules have been highlighted as one of the key enablers of greater energy autonomy and competitiveness.

To support these goals, the European Commission has proposed the Industrial Accelerator Act, which aims to expand resilient and decarbonised industrial production within the EU. Many stakeholders note, however, that success will depend on whether Europe can overcome the cost and infrastructure barriers associated with scaling new technologies while ensuring a predictable investment environment.

Join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to explore how green molecules can reinforce Europe’s energy security, improve cost competitiveness and support the creation of strategic European value chains. Questions to be addressed include:

• How can green molecules be integrated efficiently into existing infrastructure to boost Europe’s industrial competitiveness?
• What policies and infrastructure are needed to scale up green molecules as part of Europe’s energy security strategy?
• How can the Industrial Accelerator Act help build resilient European supply chains while keeping costs under control?
• What regulatory levers are required to create EU-led markets for green molecules and strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy?
