On December 23, 2024, the European Commission extended the ETS State Aid Guidelines to the glass sector, officially recognising the glass industry among the beneficiaries of compensation for indirect emission costs.
This is not just a support measure, but rather an accelerator of industrial transformation. Glass companies will be able to access:
- Enhanced compensation for energy costs, with aid intensity up to 80 percent;
- Resources tied to investments in decarbonisation projects.
The requirement is clear: those who want to benefit from aid must invest in green technologies.
Glass Service Italy has been operating on this front for years. Glass Service Italy doesn’t chase regulations; it anticipate them.
The company offers its clients:
- Oxy-gas combustion systems for drastic emission reduction;
- Electric boosting for high-efficiency thermal control;
- Full electric furnace and relative equipment;
- Custom-designed solutions that combine sustainability and operational performance.
The 2025-2030 period will be decisive. Companies that interpret this change as a strategic opportunity, not as compliance, will build their competitive advantage.
