Spain: Cemex will invest €451m to decarbonise its Alcanar plant in Montsià, up from €382m, following the final resolution of the second call for proposals under Spain's PERTE decarbonisation programme, funded by the European Commission's Next Generation EU instrument. The Spanish government will provide €200m in grants, up from €172m in the provisional resolution.
Following the provisional resolution, Cemex submitted appeals that resulted in the upward revision of the eligible budget to €451m. Cemex and other finalist projects have ten business days from publication of the final resolution to accept the grant and submit the required guarantee and environmental certificate.
