Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS)
Summary
The RFCS project has the following research objectives for the coal sector:
- Supporting the equitable transition of the coal sector and regions;
- Improving health and safety.
- Minimizing the environmental impact of coal mines in transition.
Programme Description
The Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) co-finances through grants research and innovation projects in the areas of coal and steel.
Every year, the fund supports projects at universities, research centres, and private companies.
RFCS is a EU funding programme supporting research projects in the coal and steel sectors. The RFCS has its own legal bases and stands outside the Multiannual Financial Framework. It is funded via the revenues generated by the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in liquidation assets, which are exclusively devoted to research in the sectors related to the coal and steel industry, in accordance with the provisions of Protocol (37) to the Treaties.
RFCS funded projects will cover:
- steel production processes
- optimised utilisation and conservation of resources, energy savings and industrial efficiency improvements
- health and safety at work
- environmental protection
- technologies supporting coal regions in transition
- emission reductions from steel production
The Clean Steel Partnership will support research and innovation activities from the pilot to the demonstration phase of breakthrough technologies for carbon neutral steel production. The Clean Steel Partnership relies on funds’ synergies to €700 million coming in equal parts from Horizon Europe and assets of the European Coal and Steel Community in liquidation.
