This call seeks to support the complete phase-out of fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries by integrating renewable energy sources into their processes. Projects should focus on innovative, efficient, and cost-effective local integration of renewable energy solutions. These should optimize energy efficiency, reuse waste heat, and include storage options to balance demand with the variability of renewables. Solutions must prioritize low greenhouse gas emissions, reliability, and safety while being scalable to other industrial settings. Proposals must present business models and strategies for widespread adoption across the EU and Associated Countries.
Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 13 January 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
1. Development of pathways for energy-intensive sectors to improve efficiency and phase out fossil fuels.
2. Integration of renewable energy with minimized losses and scalability to other industries.
3. Dissemination of guidelines and solutions for future EU-wide deployment.
Scope
Demonstrate innovative solutions for local integration of renewable energy into industrial processes to phase out fossil fuels, including energy storage and process optimization to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.
