The Connecting Europe Facility is a key EU funding instrument to promote growth, jobs and competitiveness through infrastructure investment at European level.
The objective is to support the deployment of Alternative Fuel supply infrastructure for waterborne transport by supporting low-emission solutions in the transition phase towards decarbonising maritime and inland waterway transport along the TEN-T network.
The following Actions will be supported:
Actions supporting LNG bunkering for TEN-T maritime and inland ports as a transitional solution and with priority to actions that include the immediate or progressive uptake of bio-LNG.
Costs related to vessels will be eligible in the case of inland waterway and short sea shipping, if an initial number of vessels is needed to kick-start the use of the supported refuelling infrastructure. In such case, the eligible cost shall be limited to the difference of cost between a fossil-fuel vessel and the zero-emission vessel(s) proposed.
Ιn order to ensure efficiency in EU funding interventions, applicants are strongly encouraged to submit applications for projects with a total requested EU contribution to the eligible costs of no less than €1,000,000.
