Spain’s Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Affairs, together with the Institute for Diversification and Energy Savings (IDAE), has launched a second call for proposals under the RENOVAL2 program, aimed at strengthening the country’s industrial value chain in cleantech.
The total funding for the call will be €355 million, allocated from the NextGenerationEU European Recovery Fund. The program is structured through two incentive mechanisms.
RENOVAL2 covers strategic areas, including renewable gases—biomethane and hydrogen—as well as the production of key equipment for the new energy model, including electrolyzers, fuel cells, and other critical components.
In selecting projects, priority will be given to initiatives with significant strategic, social, and environmental impact. Authorities will consider, in particular, the projects’ contribution to industrial job creation, regional development, and the reduction of the transport carbon footprint. According to the Ministry, such measures highlight that the energy transition represents not only a climate challenge but also an industrial and economic opportunity, strengthening Spain’s position as a European leader in cleantech.
The call for applications for the second RENOVAL2 competition will be open from January 22 to February 25, 2026.
