The Government will approve the Industry Decarbonization Perte before the end of the year

SANTANDER, 2 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government plans to approve before the end of the year the order of bases and the report of the Part of Decarbonization of the Industry, the twelfth of the Executive.

The project has 400 million euros, but its endowment could be expanded with the additional 7,800 million euros in aid from the Recovery Plan or the addendum to it, according to sources from the Ministry of Industry to Europa Press.

The General Director of Industry and SMEs, Galo Gutiérrez, has assured at the 36th Meeting of the Digital Economy and Telecommunications organized by Ametic that the Ministry is working on this project. The first calls would arrive in the first quarter of the year.

"We have the foresight and the obligation to send it to the Council of Ministers in the quarter that begins now and also publish the bases," Gutierrez stressed.

Galo Gutiérrez has acted as moderator this Friday of a table in which the commissioners of the Perte Chip, Perte Aeronautico and the Perte of the New Economy of the Language have been present.

The new Perte would thus address a central issue on the economic agenda, such as the ecological transition and the optimization of energy consumption in full alert for the possible shortage of gas and its high price.

Previously, the Secretary General for Industry and Small and Medium Enterprises, Raül Blanco, opened the third and last day of the forum with a message focused on the need to reach political consensus on industrial policy.

Blanco has also set some of the priorities of the political course for his department, such as the progress of the Industry Law, which must be approved before the end of next year.

The Secretary General analyzed the change in trend from the abandonment of industry in the 1980s and 1990s in favor of services, to the need to re-industrialize and have manufacturing capacity in Europe.

Likewise, the commissioner of the Aeronautical Perte, Miguel Belló, has reaffirmed the Government's objective that the Spanish Space Agency begins to operate in 2023.

The commissioner explained the components of the Perte and highlighted the importance of Spain managing to develop the capacity to launch satellites by itself, as well as the importance of these tools on a day-to-day basis.

The Aerospace Perte plans to mobilize around 4,533 million euros between 2021 and 2025, with a contribution from the public sector of around 2,193 million euros
