The European Union has awarded EUR 424 million to 42 sustainable transport projects including one in Bulgaria, two in Slovenia, and one in Greece. The three countries are the only EU funding beneficiaries in the region tracked by Balkan Green Energy News.
Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Greece were selected under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), an EU funding program supporting transport infrastructure.
The grants for the rollout of alternative fuels supply infrastructure are coupled with the participation of major financial institutions to achieve a higher impact of the EU’s money, the European Commission said.
With the new selection, AFIF will support the installation of 4,200 electric recharging points along the European TEN-T road network, 48 hydrogen refueling stations for cars, trucks and buses and the electrification of ground handling services in 21 airports.
A grant was awarded for the decarbonization of ground operations at Sofia’s airport
EUR 930,000 was awarded for the Electrification of Sofia Airport Ground Operations. SOF Connect AD coordinates the project.
It will support the decarbonization of ground operations at Sofia’s airport with the deployment of three mobile electrical ground power equipment, three ground power units, one heater for aircraft cabins, 22 charging stations for ground handling vehicles including the electrical infrastructure for the charging stations and the related software.
