BRUSSELS – The Madoqua projects for green energy production in Sines, Setúbal, and another for the installation of accessible charging stations in key locations in Portugal and Spain are among those selected today for funding by the European Commission.
The European Commission selected 70 projects, two in Portugal, to help decarbonize transport and strengthen the competitiveness of the European Union (EU) industries by installing the necessary infrastructure to recharge or refuel different modes of transport.
These projects will receive more than 600 million euros in funding from the Connecting Europe Facility to stimulate investments in urban areas, including ports and airports, as well as along road sections of the trans-European transport network.
The MadoquaPower2X project, located in the industrial area of Sines, aims to be a world leader in the production of green hydrogen and renewable ammonia.
The Sines consortium is made up of Madoqua Renewables, Power2X, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and will receive 14.1 million euros in funding.
The project involves the production of green hydrogen using established electrolysis technology and the production of green ammonia.
Mota Engil was selected for its project to install accessible charging stations on roads within the European transport network in Portugal and Spain, including for trucks, amounting to 2.28 million euros. 17/11/25
