Deadline: 27-Oct-22
The European Commission (EC) is accepting proposals for Innovative Renewable Energy Carrier Production for Heating from Renewable Energies.
Scope
Demonstrate cost-effective and energy-, catalyst and equipment material-efficient transformation of renewable energy into renewable energy carriers for heating, while ensuring very good combustion properties in respect of efficiency and avoidance of pollutants and environmental and socioeconomic sustainability of the respective heating supply and value chains.
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 some of the following expected outcomes:
- Advance the European innovative knowledge basis and increase technology competitiveness in the area of energy carrier production and heating value chains, in particular increase of feedstock availability for renewable heating, thus supporting the EU goals for climate protection, energy independence and economic growth;
- Technology de-risk of renewable energy carrier value chains as a necessary step before scaling up at commercial level;
- Enhanced sustainability of renewable heating value and supply chains by improving techno-economic efficiency and minimising negative environmental effects.
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.
