Clean energies receive EU research funding boost

The European Parliament has allocated 2.4 billion euros to energy research in a vote on the EU’s next seven-year R&D programme (2007-2013). Some two thirds are allocated to renewable energies and energy savings.

The overall programme is allocated a total budget of €50.5 billion euros, a substantial increase compared to the €16.3 billion available under the previous programme, FP6 (2002-2006).
