Deadline: 27-Oct-22
The European Commission (EC) is offering grants for Demonstration of complete value chains for advanced biofuel and non-biological renewable fuel production.
Scope
Proposals should demonstrate innovative and cost effective sustainable value chains for advanced biofuels or synthetic renewable fuels of non-biological origin (other than for hydrogen as a final product), over the entire cycle from feedstock to end use. Any sustainable biomass feedstock including residues and wastes, or biogenic CO2 or industrial CO2 and renewable hydrogen, as well as input energy to the conversion should be addressed. Pathways which are biochemical, thermochemical, biological, chemical, electrochemical or combinations of them should be considered. Proposals should aim at improved performance in terms of increasing the efficiency and sustainability and reducing the cost, while evidencing the value creation along the value chain steps. Complete value chains may address any relevant end use.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Build a portfolio of complete value chains for advanced biofuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin.
- De-risk technology, boost the scale-up of advanced biofuels and non-biological origin renewable fuels.
- Contribute to the priorities of the SET Plan Action 8.
- Respond to short and medium term needs for renewable fuels in energy and transport.
- Improve sustainability and security of the value chains.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions;
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States;
- eligible non-EU countries:
- countries associated to Horizon Europe;
- low- and middle-income countries.
