Carbon-Free Europe, Third Way Convene Workshop on Transatlantic Clean Energy Industrial Strategy

Carbon-Free Europe and Third Way’s Climate and Energy Program co-hosted a dynamic workshop on clean energy industrial strategy last week. Convening under Chatham House rules, the organisations led a diverse group of stakeholders from finance, government, industry, and the nonprofit world in a discussion on the future of industrial strategy in the US and abroad. The conversation focused on opportunities for collaboration between the private and public sectors to strengthen and sustain a clean energy industrial strategy and enhance transatlantic cooperation across various clean energy technologies.

The discussion underscored the need for both Europe and the US to balance dual priorities: efficient domestic decarbonisation and global decarbonisation efforts. Participants outlined the importance of aligning priorities, regulations, and standards to streamline international cooperation, amplify market power, reduce risk, make impactful joint investments, and boost collective global competitiveness. Working together, Europe and the US can strengthen a Clean Transatlantic Marketplace that will accelerate the deployment of clean technologies, boost economies, and counter authoritarian states that use energy as a tool to undermine democracy.
