Co-funding Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan renewable fuel value chains at EU, national, regional, and local level
BATTERIES and ENERGY · HORIZON-COFUND · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call co-funds a single large programme that pools EU, national, regional and local money to build renewable fuel value chains across Europe, covering advanced biofuels and other renewable liquid and gaseous fuels, excluding hydrogen as an end product. It runs joint transnational calls over five years, distributing cascading grants to research and innovation projects across the value chain. The goal is to connect fragmented regional efforts, especially involving lower performing regions, into coherent cross border value chains.

Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System. 2. Eligible Countries described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes. A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. 3. Other Eligible Conditions If projects use satellite-based earth observation, positioning, navigation and/or related timing data and services, beneficiaries must make use of Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS (other data and services may additionally be used). described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes. 4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion described in Annex C of the Work Programme General Annexes. 5a. Evaluation and award: Award criteria, scoring and thresholds are described in Annex D of the Work Programme General Annexes. 5b. Evaluation and award: Submission and evaluation processes are described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes and the Online Manual. 5c. Evaluation and award: Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes. 6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants The funding rate is 70% of the eligible costs. Beneficiaries may provide financial support to third parties (FSTP) in the form of grants. The maximum amount of FSTP to be granted to each third party is EUR 500 000. This is justified because cascading grants linked to FSTP will support concrete R&I interregional projects to be undertaken by research and innovation entities and stakeholders around the technologies value chain of renewable fuels. Such R&I collaborative projects require high costs for labour, equipment and materials to successfully carry out their activities in order to achieve the objectives of this action, otherwise this would be impossible. described in Annex G of the Work Programme General Annexes.
