Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF)

The updated State aid framework simplifies rules across five key areas to accelerate the energy transition: deployment of renewables and low-carbon fuels, temporary electricity price relief for energy-intensive industries, decarbonization of existing industrial facilities, development of clean tech manufacturing, and de-risking clean energy investments. Key changes include raising the subsidy cap to 100% of eligible costs for RFNBO (renewable fuels of non-biological origin) production through competitive bidding, and up to 60% for industrial hydrogen use when at least 40% of the electricity mix is renewable. The framework also introduces accelerated depreciation and more flexible cumulation rules, allowing projects to combine funding from multiple sources such as IPCEI, CEF, and the Innovation Fund.
