Alternative fuels: €422 million of EU funding to boost zero-emission mobility
The EU is allocating nearly €422 million to 39 projects that will deploy alternative fuels supply infrastructure along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T), contributing to decarbonisation. These projects have been selected under the first cut-off deadline of the 2024-2025 Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), the EU funding programme supporting European transport infrastructure.
With this selection, the AFIF will support approximately 2,500 electric recharging points for light-duty vehicles and 2,400 for heavy-duty vehicles along the European TEN-T road network, 35 hydrogen refuelling stations for cars, trucks and buses, the electrification of ground handling services in 8 airports, the greening of 9 ports and 2 ammonia and methanol bunkering facilities.
Next steps
Following EU Member States’ approval of the selected projects on 4 February 2025, the European Commission will adopt the award decision in the coming months, after which the results will become definitive. The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has started the preparation of the grant agreements with the beneficiaries of successful projects.
Background
The second phase of the AFIF (2024-2025) was launched on 29 February 2024 with a total budget of €1 billion: €780 million under the general envelope and €220 million under the cohesion envelope. Its goal is to support objectives set out in the Regulation for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR) regarding publicly accessible electric recharging pools and hydrogen refuelling stations across the EU’s main transport corridors and hubs, as well as the objectives set in the ReFuelEU aviation and the FuelEU maritime regulations.
The call for proposals covers the roll-out of alternative fuels supply infrastructure for road, maritime, inland waterway and air transport. It supports recharging stations, hydrogen refuelling stations, electricity supply and ammonia and methanol bunkering facilities.
The call remains open for applications and the next cut-off deadline is 11 June 2025.
