The article is titled – Stakeholder Perspectives on EU Regulatory Frameworks: Navigating Critical Raw Materials, Battery Innovation, and Recycling Challenges, and is published in the open-access journal Open Research Europe.
Despite their shared objectives, the implementation of the Green Deal Industrial Plan, Net Zero Industrial Act, Critical Raw Materials Act, and European Battery Regulation 2023 raises questions about their coherence and effectiveness as a unified policy framework. Specifically, the two research questions were addressed within this article:
a) Do these initiatives complement each other in achieving the EU’s climate and industrial goals, or do they create unintended contradictions or redundancies?
b) How do different stakeholders perceive and interact with this regulatory framework, and how does this influence its overall success?
The study provides a critical analysis of the coherence of the European Union’s Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP) and its associated policies, such as the Net-Zero Industry Act and the Critical Raw Materials Act. Through comprehensive stakeholder analysis, the research identifies key challenges and synergies in Europe’s push for a competitive and resilient clean-tech industry.
Key highlights:
a) Stakeholder perspectives on regulatory overlaps and investment barriers.
b) The critical importance of addressing the skills gap in the green transition.
c) The influence of global geopolitics, such as supply chain dependencies, on EU strategic autonomy.
