Its role Funder
The Ministry of Industry and Tourism is a Spanish government department responsible for developing and implementing policies on industrial development, trade, and tourism promotion. It supports the competitiveness of Spanish industries through funding programmes, regulatory frameworks, and initiatives focused on innovation and sustainability, including decarbonisation in energy-intensive sectors such as chemicals.
The ministry administers significant grant schemes under the PERTE framework for strategic economic recovery projects, providing financial support to companies for measures like electric boilers, biomass systems, and hydrogen optimisation to reduce CO₂ emissions. These activities are carried out across Spain, with a focus on aligning national industrial policies with European Union climate objectives.
Headquartered in Madrid, the ministry forms part of the Spanish executive branch and operates under the direction of an appointed minister. It plays a key role in facilitating the green transition for manufacturing firms by awarding grants that enable the adoption of cleaner technologies without expanding production capacity.
In the chemical industry context, it acts as a public funder supporting projects at facilities like Ercros' Tarragona complex, contributing to national goals of cutting industrial emissions while promoting economic resilience and technological advancement in Spain's manufacturing base.
