This funding call aims to accelerate the deployment of net-zero technologies within energy-intensive industries by fostering collaboration between technology manufacturers and industrial sectors. Aligned with the Net-Zero Industry Act under the Green Deal Industrial Plan, the initiative seeks to enhance the EU's manufacturing capacity to meet at least 40% of annual net-zero technology deployment needs. Projects should facilitate partnerships among energy-intensive sectors, net-zero technology providers, and engineering firms to integrate sustainable energy solutions into industrial processes. Key objectives include assessing standard processes, optimizing technologies to meet sector-specific requirements, and demonstrating scalable, cost-effective solutions. Proposals must involve all actors in the value chain and ensure interoperability and secure data sharing. Dissemination and replication strategies are essential to promote widespread adoption. This call is part of the co-programmed European partnerships Processes4Planet and Made in Europe.
Opening: 22 May 2025
Deadline(s): 23 Sep 2025
