Equans study reveals solutions and challenges for decarbonising SMEs and industrial companies in Europe

New OpinionWay survey commissioned by Equans reveals the growing commitment of Europe’s smaller industrial businesses to decarbonise, but it also highlights the pressing need for clearer support and simpler solutions.

(PresseBox) (München, )
On the occasion of the ChangeNOW 2025 summit, Equans, a leading energy and services company, publishes an exclusive survey conducted by OpinionWay among 1,336 decision-makers from industrial SMEs and mid-cap companies in five European countries (France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands).

The survey, entitled 'Decarbonisation of European industry: perceptions, barriers and solutions', provides a comprehensive overview of the steps taken by European SMEs to address the low-carbon transition.

Among the key findings of the survey 94% of industrial decision-makers believe that decarbonisation is compatible with their business, and 43% have already taken concrete action.

The main barriers identified by respondents are the complexity of the proposed solutions (32%) and the level of investment required (27%).

Of those that have taken steps to decarbonise, 92% are turning to renewable energy to replace fossil fuels with lower carbon solutions, with solar energy, energy storage and heat pumps the most popular.

Finally, 59% of executives believe that recent political rhetoric is slowing down their decarbonisation efforts.

More information you can find in the attached media release from Equans.
