R&I in Support of the Clean Industrial Deal: Decarbonisation of energy intensive industries (IA) (Processes4Planet and Clean Steel partnerships)
R&I in Support of the Clean Industrial Deal · HORIZON-IA · TRL 6 to 8 · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call funds large demonstration projects that help heavy, energy intensive industries cut carbon emissions. It supports new technologies for carbon capture and use, cleaner energy use in production, and more circular, resource efficient manufacturing processes. Projects should move from already proven technology to near market ready demonstrators with a solid business plan for scaling up in Europe.
renewable energy · carbon capture · energy efficiency · circular economy · advanced materials · sustainable materials
Who wins this
An industry led consortium, ideally small and manageable in size, that includes an industrial partner ready to lead deployment of a decarbonisation technology in an energy intensive sector such as steel or chemicals.
