Synergies and mutual learning with national and regional initiatives in Europe on Industrial decarbonisation (Processes4Planet and Clean Steel partnerships)
This funding call focuses on fostering coordination and mutual learning between European, national, and regional initiatives to support the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries. It is part of the broader Horizon Europe agenda under the INDUSTRY 2025 program. The call aims to create synergies between existing and new initiatives, such as Processes4Planet and Clean Steel partnerships, and facilitate the effective deployment of low-carbon technologies.
The initiative seeks to strengthen collaboration among public authorities, research organizations, and industry stakeholders. This includes aligning national and regional funding programs to complement EU-level activities in industrial decarbonisation. The effort targets the enhancement of industrial ecosystems to achieve EU climate neutrality by 2050 while preserving industrial competitiveness in line with the Green Deal and the New Industrial Strategy.
Proposals should promote mutual learning, create a comprehensive overview of technology roadmaps, and develop strategies and action plans for industrial decarbonisation. Projects are encouraged to identify barriers, propose framework improvements, and facilitate the exchange of best practices across national and regional stakeholders.
This call emphasizes active networking, leveraging funding opportunities, and developing monitoring tools to track progress. It aims to mobilize investment for R&I and deployment activities beyond 2027, ensuring long-term sustainability in decarbonisation efforts.
Opening: 22 May 2025
