The European Investment Fund (EIF) has signed a €150 million commitment, supported by InvestEU, with the White Summit Capital Decarbonisation Infrastructure Fund II to support projects that boost the transition to clean energy, address the consequences of climate change and ensure security of energy supply, among others.

The Commission has made pre-financing payments under REPowerEU to nine Member States under the Recovery and Resilience Facility: €145.1 million to Belgium, €585.1 million to Croatia, €20.9 million euros to Cyprus, €25.4 million to Finland, €158.7 million to Greece, €551.2 million to Italy, €26.9 million to Latvia, €288 million to Romania, and €340 million to Spain.

"This agreement is a great demonstration of InvestEU's support for Europe's transition to climate neutrality. I am proud that, together with the European Investment Bank and the Nordic Investment Bank as key implementing partners, InvestEU is backing this pioneering initiative, contributing to the production of more sustainable steel in Sweden."

InvestEU is supporting European Investment Bank (EIB) and Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) deals to support H2 Green Steel's large-scale green steel production facility in Northern Sweden. The green steel will be produced with up to 95% fewer CO2 emissions compared to the current manufacturing process.
