In Focus
Last August saw the entry into force of the revised Industrial and Livestock Rearing Emissions Directive (IED 2.0), the EU's main instrument for reducing sectoral emissions.
For years now, the original IED requirements have helped industrial installations reduce harmful emissions to the benefit of people's health and the environment.
This month, the spotlight is back on this important piece of legislation, which looks at how the revised Directive is supporting innovation in new and emerging technologies, all while acting as a green incentive to boost Europe’s growth by guiding investment towards sustainable alternatives.
You can find our interactive IED 2.0 story here if you're interested in learning how it works.
Euronews has also released its latest episode from 'The Road to Green' series, which explores the issue in more detail.
