Eurogia Call for Projects for a Sustainable Environment

This call for projects has been launched following Eureka’s Clusters framework based on mutual consent between participating national and regional funding bodies and Cluster organisations.

Eurogia2030 is the Eureka Cluster on the front line in the energy field to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Some of the targeted challenges to achieve these goals are:

• Carbon-free energy supply,
• Green mobility and smart cities,
• Smarter housings and constructions,
• Bio resources and environment.

The technologies necessary to tackle these challenges are rapidly developing within a giant market and an ever growing societal concern. In-depth knowledge and leadership in developing and applying them is an essential requirement, if industry is to maintain its leadership in multiple application areas, or take advantage of new opportunities.

This Eurogia2030 programme is designed to stimulate activity in this important area, through the creation of trans-national collaborative projects in applications that will support economic growth and benefit society as a whole.

Scope

• The scope of this call for projects includes:
  • Offshore wind turbines, bioenergy, solar panels, fuel cells power to-X, energy storage
  • Hydrogen fuel cell (production, storage, station)
  • CO2 capture, sequestration and utilisation
  • Green and zero-emission buildings, smart cities, heating
  • IT solutions in buildings, smart monitoring, 3D construction, digital twins in housing design
  • Smart grids, micro-grid, E-mobility, smart cities
  • Monitoring of the environment and bio resources
  • Other low-carbon technologies addressing Eurogia’s 5Ds strategy

Participation
