Summary
The Dutch government just handed Philip Morris over a million euros to green up its cigarette factory—yes, the tobacco giant—by swapping gas systems for energy-efficient heat pumps. Despite the irony of funding a smoking company while pushing anti-smoking policies, officials say it’s all about cutting emissions, not boosting sales. The money, doled out in chunks over three years, even included a refund after a failed 2022 project. They’re sticking to their guns: if you’re making stuff in the Netherlands, make it as climate-friendly as possible—even if it’s cigarettes.
