14th Joint Call for Research and Development Proposals of the ERA-NET Bioenergy

Basic Information

Funding will be offered to excellent proposals that provide clear added value through cooperation of partners in at least two (preferably more) participating countries. Novelty beyond the state of the art in the bioenergy value chain addressed must be significant, and evidence of exploitation potential must be provided (e.g. by way of tangible industry commitment).

Aim of the joint call The14th Joint Call for Research, Development & Innovation Proposals of the ERA-NET Bioenergy with the topic “Development and improvement of biomass conversion technologies for the provisioning of heat for industrial processes” aims to support innovative, collaborative pan-European, R&D&I projects, which should contribute to safe, environmentally friendly, reliable and economical bioenergy production. The focus is on technology readiness levels 2-7 (at the end of the funded project). The projects should address new implementation pathways supporting decarbonisation of industry and demonstration of best practice examples. Furthermore, the linkage to circular economy especially in industry sectors has to be stressed more, e.g. by using biomass based waste as fuel or feedstock.
