The grants have been awarded to beneficiaries in 12 Member States, and will cover pilot and demonstration projects in five thematic areas: air; environment and health; resource efficiency; waste; and water. The projects are led by ‘beneficiaries’, or project promoters, based in Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In total, they represent an investment of €103.3 million, of which the EU will provide €56.2 million.
