In 2020, the scope of the previous subsidy scheme, SDE+, was broadened from renewable energy production to other CO2 emission reduction measures such as CCS within the SDE ++ scheme.

The SDE++ is a subsidy scheme targeting technologies related to low carbon power and CO2 sequestration. Only industries, companies and non profit organisations can apply to the programme.

There are five main categories for this scheme:

1. Renewable electricity (Hydropower, wind, solar...)

2. Renewable heat (solar thermal, geothermal, biomass combustion…)

3. Renewable gas (biomass fermentation or gasification)

4. Low CO2 heat (electric boiler, industrial heat pump…)

5. Low CO2 production (CCUS, hydrogen…)

The grant is distributed over the span of up to 12 to 15 years, depending on the technology. The funding allocated is computed according to the amount of energy the firm produces or the amount of avoided emissions related to the technology.

In 2020 and 2021, EUR 5 billion grants were available through this programme.

In the 2020 round, the CCUS project in the Port of Amsterdam will contribute to sequester 2.5 million tons of CO2 per year, through a EUR 2.1 billion investment. EUR 2 billion were distributed to solar and wind projects with the rest towards energy efficiency in industry.

Investors Are Racing to Find America's Next Rare Earth Winner

The Pentagon’s investment in MP Materials marked the biggest U.S. intervention in the rare earth industry in decades. The deal established a domestic champion for one of the world’s most strategically important supply chains and demonstrated that Washington is prepared to commit federal financial resources to critical mineral production. Mountain Pass is the only large-scale rare earth mine operating in the United States and one of the world’s largest producers of light rare earths. Its ore is rich in neodymium and praseodymium…

U.S. Backs Madagascar’s Rare Earths Project

The Trump administration has opened another front in the global rare earths race, backing a new project in Madagascar as Washington accelerates efforts to break China’s grip on the critical minerals that power everything from advanced weapons and AI infrastructure to oil refining and electric vehicles. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) has committed up to $4.84 million to Harena Rare Earths’ (OTCQB: CRMNF) Ampasindava project in northern Madagascar. The funding will support pilot plant operations, metallurgical…

Low Gas Storage and Diesel Shortages Threaten Europe’s Winter Supply

Tightening global supply of oil and gas is putting Europe on course for a difficult winter this year due to the continent’s significant dependence on energy imports, despite energy transition ambitions. Gas in storage is much lower than it should be, and a diesel crunch is threatening fuel oil supply security for the heating season. It could turn into a perfect storm. The first warning signs emerged as early as March, as the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran crippled Qatar’s LNG export infrastructure, forcing the Gulf state to declare…

Cooling Emissions Are Set to Triple by 2050 as Heat Waves Intensify

Air conditioning has become a hot-button geopolitical issue as rising temperatures create dangerous conditions around the globe. Air-conditioning units are increasingly being considered as “essential infrastructure” as summer heat waves turn into a deadly and increasingly regular occurrence. But while air conditioning inarguably saves lives, in the short term, they are simultaneously contributing to global warming and distracting from other, more important approaches to managing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.…
