Global Incentives

open  The European Commission’s “Strategy to Harness the Potential of Offshore Renewable Energy for a Climate Neutral Future expects renewable energy projects to become increasingly important in most sea basins in Europe, including innovative projects such as offshore hydrogen production.

open Fuel cells offer the highest electrical efficiency for conversion of chemically stored energy. They can significantly contribute to an efficient use of produced hydrogen carriers and to the reduction of overall CO2 emissions.

open The huge leap expected in the evolution of water electrolyser technology can be performed only by reaching significant technical and economic targets. The European Hydrogen strategy targets 6 GW installed electrolyser capacity by 2024 ramping up to 40 GW electrolyser capacity by 2030.

open Developing and deploying cost-competitive and mature Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology by 2030 is crucial for reaching EU’s aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining economic growth.

open This flagship project is expected to pave the way for further large-scale integration of electrolyser systems in industrial applications in the framework of fully commercial operations.

open This topic concerns the research and development of much larger cells and stacks for water electrolysers than the current State of the Art (SoA). By upscaling electrolyser cells and stacks, economies of scale can be realised in manufacturing and more compact installations can be achieved

open The goal of this grant is to address the large but untapped potential of the residential sector for Demand Response with a view to support the energy transition at system level while respecting user privacy, comfort and ownership.

open This topic aims to satisfy the need for low-medium temperature heat in the relevant industrial sectors, by upgrading lower temperature heat flows

open This topic aims to satisfy the need for decoupling the heat generation from the heat use in continuous or non-continuous industrial processes.

open Digitalisation of battery testing will lead to an acceleration of the battery development time, a higher quality of the battery assessment, and an improvement of the battery design itself and a better estimation lifetime.

open Batteries are operating in different conditions and although preventive approach during battery operation is a must, we need to develop curative functionalities which would enable battery operation in different non-ideal conditions while being transparent through the nasty chemical environment of the cell.

open This topic should support the development of novel experimental and computational techniques targeting the time and length scales of interface reactions in a battery cell.

open Batteries are key for a climate neutral transport sector. Projects are expected to develop innovative battery systems technologies that will benefit several transport and mobile applications.

open Battery management plays an essential role by ensuring an efficient and safe battery operation.

open Improvement and cost-reduction of technologies to predict, assess, monitor and control in real time the energy performance of buildings, including energy efficiency, renewables, storage and their optimisation.

open Within next several years, the amount of EoL batteries will surge, transforming the recycling and battery value chain in general. It is important to develop efficient recycling chain and processes able to meet these upcoming amounts of diversified waste streams.

open For synthetic graphite, by-products of oil distillation are used as the starting point, followed by calcining, milling, shaping and graphitisation. This process produces high quality anode graphite.

open In order to build globally competitive Li ion battery (LIB) cell production plants in Europe, all the production value chain from machinery to plant and site development and optimisation is expected to be considered holistically, from machinery development to plant and site integration and optimisation.

open  The predominantly linear economic models of food production are unstainable and heavily rely on finite and scarce resources, such as phosphorus and water.Food systems actors need to recognise that the re-use of water and food by-products is key to achieve circularity in the industry and contribute to soil health.

open  There is no life without soils. If soils are healthy and sustainably managed, they provide food, clean water, habitats for biodiversity and other important services while contributing to climate resilience

open Investments are needed to establish, scale-up or improve primary cancer prevention programmes.

open Looking for businesses who 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.

open Meeting local and seasonal energy demands in agriculture and forestry with optimum agricultural and forest waste management and use while reducing the associated emissions is essential.

open In order to foster the application of security standards, agile certification and continuous assessment of cyber resilience systems, actions will cover the harmonising, packaging and distributing of certification processes.

open Digital infrastructures together with their connected devices are characterised by complex interdependencies involving various physical and logical layers and connecting a wide range of legacy IT solutions and innovative technologies.

open In recent years, the number of different tools for the surveillance of public spaces has been growing at massive pace in most European cities. CCTV-systems in public spaces are the most evident examples. They have been expanded in terms of quantity  quality and also scope.

open During the next decades the European Union should seize the opportunities that quantum technologies will bring. The advent of large-scale quantum computers will compromise much of modern cryptography, which is instrumental in ensuring cybersecurity and privacy of the digital transition.

open Trustworthy methodologies and tools for advanced analysis and verification, and dynamic testing of potentially vulnerable, insecure hardware and software components calls for good practices for system security.

open The Long-term Europe-Africa Partnership on Renewable Energy (LEAP-RE) programme co-funded by the European Union (EU) under Horizon 2020 aims to increase the use of renewable energy via a well-balanced set of research, demonstration, and technology transfer projects in both continents.
