Process industries will greatly benefit from radically new approaches that will lead to a much higher resource efficiency (including higher selectivity), producing less low-value by-products and waste and enabling the handing of a higher feedstock variability, and ultimately leading to lower level of GHG emissions linked to the process industries. To reach ambitious targets regarding resource efficiency, disruptive process technologies must be developed in addition to process efficiency options for existing technologies.

Regular maintenance and repair of civil engineering infrastructure extends their service life, which in turn reduces the need for their demolition and replacement and the related negative economic, environmental and climate impacts. However, it can be difficult and cumbersome to identify and address maintenance or repair needs, especially in locations that are difficult to access such as large or tall structures, deep shafts, or where elements are hidden from view. Intervention for maintenance and repair can also involve unnecessary risks to health and safety of workers.

This topic is focused on enhanced assessment, intervention and repair of civil engineering infrastructure.

Technologies/solutions to support circularity for manufacturing (Made in Europe Partnership) (RIA)

Code: 30129 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL4-2024-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Digital, Industry & Space (Cluster 4)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 19/09/2023 | End submission calls: 07/02/2024

Manufacturing plays a key role in achieving the twin transition goal through enhancing circularity, facilitating decarbonisation whilst enhancing competitiveness.
Data pooling and sharing among sectors and across the whole value chain, as well as the use of external environmental impact data such as LCA-data, would facilitate recycling and remanufacturing, by modelling and monitoring the life cycle of products and components. To achieve that, there is a need to build trust by ensuring data exchange and interoperability across industry sectors and relevant stakeholders, while also focusing on aspects like data quality, cybersecurity, reliability, and accessibility.
The workforce should be engaged in the realization of circular approaches and the new manufacturing technologies.

This topic is focused on technologies/solutions to support circularity for manufacturing.

Hubs for circularity for industrialised urban peripheral areas (Processes4Planet partnership) (IA)

Closed

Code: 30127 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL4-2024-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-38 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Digital, Industry & Space (Cluster 4)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 19/09/2023 | End submission calls: 07/02/2024

Urban areas with high volumes of waste (household and end of life consumer waste) should closely interact with adjacent industries to jointly minimize their CO2 footprint and improve their waste management, thus contributing together to the valorisation of secondary materials and overall circularity. The hubs for circularity (H4C) concept is a pathway to exploit local synergies for the deployment of innovative solutions engaging regional resource management actors in strategic nodes where novel value chains valorising a significant part of end-of-life wastes could connect within and across regions.

This topic aims to support the goals of the smart cities mission by contributing to a healthier urban industrial symbiosis through waste reduction.

Renewable hydrogen used as feedstock in innovative production routes (Processes4Planet Partnership) (RIA)

Closed

Code: 30121 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL4-2024-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-34 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Digital, Industry & Space (Cluster 4)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 19/09/2023 | End submission calls: 07/02/2024

This topic is focused on the use of renwable hydrogen on feedstock in innovative production routes.

Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources does not lead to direct carbon dioxide emissions when used and it can offer solutions to decrease GHG emissions in industrial processes. The integration of renewable hydrogen into new production routes as a feedstock will lead to major GHG emission reductions across several European industry sectors.
Currently, hydrogen is largely used in industrial sectors such as the chemical industries and refineries. Hydrogen could be used as reducing agent in the production and recovery of metals, biogenic and circular carbon optimisation or in new process routes to produce platform chemicals (e.g., carbon-based waste and side streams or biomass).
