17. SUPPORTING THE TRANSITION TO THE REFINERY 2050 THAT HAS ALREADY STARTED: HOW ?
Recommendations
A large and ambitious mission oriented R&D&I program for industrial low-CO2 technologies, including funding for industrial demonstration and scale up
The EU should ensure that the tools that are being developed (e.g. ETS Innovation Fund or under Horizon Europe) properly support their development and deployment.
Those R&D&I challenges go beyond our industry : collaborative efforts are essential to enable the transition
Optimal combination and integration of technologies (incl. breakthrough technologies) is a must.
