Successful proposals will support researchers and innovators to upgrade technological solutions for biogenic gaseous carbon capture and use (CCU[1]) and the production of sustainable circular non-fossil-based products, in line with the objectives of the European Climate Law and with the initiatives outlined in the 'Sustainable Carbon Cycles' Communication from the European Commission[2]. The successful proposals will contribute to mitigating climate change along the bio-based industrial systems.
Project results should contribute to the following expected outcomes:
- Higher carbon removal[1] potential[4] of bio-based systems.
- Improved environmental performances of bio-based processes.
- Public awareness and acceptance of bio-based solutions.
- Support market uptake growth and acceptance of scalable bio-based solutions.
Technology Readiness Level (TRL): Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6 by the end of the project - see Horizon Europe General Annex B.
Expected EU contribution per project: It is estimated that a contribution of EUR 5 million would allow these outcomes to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of a proposal requesting different amounts
Scope:The European Union has established the European Climate Law, having as objectives to become climate resilient and economy-wide climate neutrality by 2050, with the aim to achieve negative emissions thereafter. To achieve these objectives, the circular economy and the
