(43) The amended Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation54 made available an additional EUR 20 billion of non-repayable support to Member States in order to promote energy efficiency and replace fossil fuels, amongst others through EU net-zero industry projects. As pointed out in the Commission Guidance on the REPowerEU chapters55 , Member States are encouraged to include in the REPowerEU chapter of their recovery and resilience plans, measures supporting investments in net-zero technologies manufacturing and industrial innovation, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council56 . Member States should ensure a swift implementation of the national recovery and resilience plans and a quick roll-out of the RePowerEU measures and the respect of the agreed timeframes for investments in the whole value chain of the net-zero technologies. _________________ 54 Regulation (EU) 2023/435 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 February 2023 amending Regulation (EU) 2021/241 as regards REPowerEU chapters in recovery and resilience plans and amending Regulations (EU) No 1303/2013, (EU) 2021/1060 and (EU) 2021/1755, and Directive 2003/87/EC, (OJ L 63, 28.2.2023, p. 1). 55 Commission Notice Guidance on Recovery and Resilience Plans in the context of REPowerEU 2023/C 80/01, (OJ C 80, 3.3.2023, p. 1). 56 Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021 establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility, (OJ L 57, 18.2.2021, p. 17).

Recital 48
(48) To overcome the limitations of the current fragmented public and private investments efforts, facilitate integration and return on investment, the Commission, and Member States should better coordinate and create synergies between the existing funding programmes at Union and national level as well as ensure better coordination and collaboration with industry and key private sector stakeholders. The Net-Zero Europe Platform has a key role to play to build a comprehensive view of available and relevant funding opportunities and to discuss the individual financing needs of net-zero strategic projects. The Platform should also review the different instruments for the financial support of net-zero technologies, address difficulties in accessing finance and ensure that EU and national funds can be quickly absorbed by the relevant industries. The Platform should build synergies, when relevant, with the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform, to direct existing funding towards STEP projects and speed up implementation in digital and deep tech, clean tech and biotech sectors which are crucial for Europe's leadership.
