About ZCI project

ZCI will strengthen the role of 8 Public Authorities to accelerate the provision of zero carbon infrastructure by increasing their capacity and working with private and public stakeholders, and provide capacity-building support for others.

The EU has set ambitious targets to decarbonise transport, requiring radical changes to the whole ecosystem. The recent dramatic developments in the geo-political situation in Europe highlight the need to accelerate this transition away from fossil fuels.

Public authorities should be the  “first mover” in this. If they can help to  make the energy supply-chain ready, the  market will be energised – vehicle-makers  and users will make the switch.

Our partnership

The partnership includes 9 partners from 9 Member States  covering a balanced geographical spread  from North (SE&FI) to West (IRL), South  (ESP) and East (BG).

 The partners are 8 cities selected for their  specific abilities and experience related to  development of zero carbon infratsrucute on their territories and 1 Advisory partner with necessary theoretical and scientific  knowledge and expertise to support  partners with capacity building and  planning strategies.
