Summary
Proposals should aimto reduce the capital costs and the energy and environmental footprint of CO2 conversion technologies to make them suitable for wider application in the near to medium term.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals must aim at reducing the capital intensity and energy and environmental footprint of CO2 conversion technologies to allow for upscaling in the short to medium term.
In particular, proposals are expected to:
- Provide information and assessment about the economic feasibility and the potential of scaling-up the proposed solutions at commercial scale as appropriate.
- Reduce the use of virgin critical raw materials.
- Define ambitious but achievable targets for energy requirements of the conversion process, production costs and product yields, as well of price competitiveness, that will be used to monitor project implementation.
- Define minimum CO2 concentrations and maximum impurities levels that the conversion process can tolerate. Solutions that can cope with less pure CO2 streams will improve the overall energy efficiency.
- Apply rigorous life-cycle analysis (LCA) to ensure that the proposed solution is comprehensively assessed on its ability to contribute to long-term sustainability: climate mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity, water use, pollution, and virgin resources depletion. The LCA must be in line with guidelines developed by the Commission, such as the Innovation Fund GHG methodology and the relevant ISO standards and the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
Whenever the expected exploitation of project results entails developing, creating, manufacturing and marketing a product or process, or in creating and providing a service, the plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results must include a strategy for such exploitation and an analysis of equivalent final products in the market. The exploitation plans must include preliminary ideas for scalability, commercialisation, and deployment (feasibility study, business plan, financial model) indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (in particular the Innovation Fund).
