Europe can decarbonize without halting economic growth: new study charts roadmap

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 16:01

A new study indicates that Europe can achieve decarbonization without halting economic growth. The research charts a roadmap for the continent to maintain industrial activity while reducing carbon emissions.

The study suggests that importing certain materials used in steel, fertilizer and chemical production can be a solution to keep more industry in Europe. This approach would allow the continent to continue producing these essential goods without having to manufacture all necessary components locally.

According to the research, this selective import strategy can help Europe preserve its industrial sector within European territory, while simultaneously ensuring the transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.

Why this matters

The study offers a relevant perspective for Europe by demonstrating that decarbonization does not have to mean a loss of industrial competitiveness. For readers in the region, this suggests that public policies can be designed to attract or retain industries, protecting jobs and economic activity while meeting environmental targets. The article serves as a basis for discussion on future industrial and energy strategies.
