Description
This Horizon Europe call aims to drive significant decarbonisation in process industries by supporting projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through technological innovation. The focus is on integrating renewable energy sources, electrification, hybrid and energy storage solutions, and advanced materials to address the fluctuating nature of renewable energy supply. Projects should demonstrate solutions at pilot scale in real industrial environments, improve energy efficiency, enable integrated energy systems, and utilize advanced materials for scalable high-temperature applications. A strong emphasis is placed on industrial scalability, business case development, exploitation strategy, and the societal and environmental impacts of the proposed innovations. The call is implemented under the co-programmed European Partnerships: Processes4Planet and Innovative Advanced Materials for the EU.
