Summary
Proposals are expected to provide in-depth assessments that will lead to novel solutions improving critical aspects of specific renewable energy technologies and their respective value chains impacting EU’s energy security.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals are expected to focus on the development of solutions for these critical aspects, which could highly improve the overall capacity of the specific value chain in contributing to an improved energy security for Europe in the long run. The projects must address precisely only one of the following areas:
Area 1- Sustainability and social awareness of specific renewable energy value chains as a limiting factor for their roll-out and performance over time (this is expected to be addressed either for hydropower or bioenergy);
Area 2- Skills for renewable energy value chains as a limiting factor for innovation and deployment of relevant clean energy technologies;
Area 3- Complexity for specific renewable energy value chains (this is expected to be addressed either for grid based RFNBOs and/or direct solar fuels and can for example include issues such as necessary market interactions for substrates, or interfaces between different reactions).
Applicants must explicitly indicate to which of these three areas they apply.
