Call
Detailed Call Description
The proposals, through non-critical raw materials (CRM)-based30, systems integrated, life cycle and circular thinking driven approaches, should develop a proof of concept (PoC) or lab-scale validated innovative technology that, will manage and valorise CO2, N, or both at the same time into value-added net zero commodities, chemicals, fuels, or energy vectors. Such technology should produce added-value products optimising input/output energy balances and achieving a carbon negative or net zero process promoting sustainable business models. Besides, the different steps of the CO2/N management and valorisation process could be designed to achieve integration at system or process level, to maximize sector coupling of energy systems such as converting renewable electricity into e-fuels and materials (e.g. power to X).
Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan
The total indicative budget of the present call is € 167 000 000 which is expected to be allocated in approximately equal shares across the challenges. The EIC considers proposals with an EU contribution of up to € 4 000 000 as appropriate.
