Investing in low-carbon technologies in the EU. Workshop report, 26 April 2010

In light of the financing needs identified in the Communication from the Commission on the SET-Plan of November 2009, a workshop was held in the European Parliament on 26 April 2010. Its purpose was to assess the experience of public/private investors with investments in innovative energy technologies or projects integrating climate change and eco-efficiency criteria. Discussion focused on the status of clean energy investments markets, factors/criteria influencing decisions and investments into clean energy technology, current barriers, possible EU regulatory issues that would promote further uptake and means necessary for improving access to venture capital.
