Despite high levels of government investment, the World Bank predicted that the global economy would decrease by 5.2 percent in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cities account for 80% of global GDP, thus they will face the brunt of this decline.
 * 1) Electrifying heat as furnaces are powered by electricity rather than burning fuels. Green energy must still be used.
 * 2) The use of hydrogen as a furnace steam, a chemical feedstock, or a reactant in chemical processes.
 * 3) The use of biomass as a source of energy or feedstock. In other words, replacing coal with bio coal or gas with bio-gas. One example is charcoal, which is made by converting wood into coal and has a CO2 footprint of zero.
 * 4) Carbon capture and storage. This is where greenhouse gases are isolated from other natural gases, compressed, and injected into the earth to avoid being emitted into the atmosphere.
 * 5) Carbon capture and usage. The aim of this method is to turn industrial gases into something valuable, such as ethanol or raw materials for the chemical industry.

The European Investment Bank signed two transactions with BioNTech in 2019 and 2020. The latest deal with BioNTech started early in the pandemic, when the Bank’s staff reviewed its portfolio and came up with BioNTech as one of the companies capable of developing a COVID-19 vaccine.

Compared to other markets, such as China, the European electric car market has developed slowly. This, together with the lack of charging stations, has reduced the number of electric models available in Europe. In 2018 and 2019 the European Investment Bank (EIB) signed several projects with companies like Allego, Greenway, BeCharge and Enel X. The EIB loans will support the deployment of the charging station infrastructure with a total of €200 million.
