The European Commission has announced a partnership with Bill Gates' sustainable energy funding vehicle with the goal of unlocking new investments for clean tech and sustainable energy projects totalling up to $1BN (€820M) over five years (2022-2026). The goal is to scale technologies which are currently too expensive to compete with fossil fuel-based incumbent technologies. It's not the first time the Commission and Gates' Breakthrough Energy organization have worked together on funding sustainable investment.
