Summary: Supports projects to build and connect renewable fuel value chains across Europe, fostering research, innovation, and collaboration among stakeholders at all levels.
This grant, funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe, co-funds large-scale projects aimed at advancing renewable fuel value chains throughout the EU. The initiative focuses on overcoming fragmentation in the renewable fuels sector by bringing together stakeholders from EU, national, regional, and local levels. Projects are expected to mobilize resources, align public and private R&I priorities, and establish connected networks for technology development, demonstration, and market uptake. The scope includes all renewable fuel technologies of biological and non-biological origin, supporting research, demonstration, technology transfer, market uptake, training, and dissemination activities. The action is designed to accelerate the deployment of sustainable renewable fuel technologies, support regulatory and market frameworks, and contribute to the objectives of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan.
