Feb 24, 2025
The Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) sets targets for the EU production capacity of strategic net-zero technologies. The act defines 19 net-zero technologies (NZT) to be promoted in order to realize EU climate targets. These technologies contribute to the EU's resilience and security of clean energy supply, are commercially available and can be scaled up quickly.
Net-zero technologies refers to final products, specific components or specific machinery primarily used for the production of those products. Please refer to the section below for detailed information on selected key technologies in Germany.
Benchmarks for NZT Production Capacity
The EU has set benchmarks for NZT production capacity to reduce strategic dependencies on NZT and their supply chains.
- 40 percent of EU annual demand covered by domestically produced NZT by 2030
- 15 percent of NZT global production by 2040
