Call Description:

As stated in the Horizon Europe Strategy, the goal of this destination is expected to contribute to the use of efficient and sustainable energy accessible for all with a clean energy system and a just transition.

The activities targeting notably a more efficient use of energy in buildings and industry are an important part of this destination such as: 

• Technological and socio-economic breakthroughs for achieving climate neutrality and the transition to zero pollution of the building stock by 2050, 
• Increased energy efficiency in industry and reducing industry’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions through recovery, upgrade and/or conversion of industrial excess (waste) heat and through electrification of heat generation.

The calls that were opened within the scope of this destination have been collected under two main topics but the second calls of 2021 are only related to the Highly Energy-efficient and Climate-neutral European Building Stock topic. 
 

Special Conditions:

Unless otherwise provided for in the specific call conditions, legal entities forming a consortium are eligible to participate in actions provided that the consortium includes:

• at least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and 
• at least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries. 

Call Description:

Destination 3: Sustainable, Secure and Competitive Energy Supply aims to be obtained more performant renewable energy solutions by providing a more efficient, clean, sustainable, safe and competitive energy supply. In this context, in order to strengthen the place of Europe in the global chain and to reach the expected performance on this field;

• Energy systems and energy storage,
• Smart and cyber secure grids,
• Carbon Capture, Use and Storage (CCUS) are emerging as key players.

The calls open within the scope of this destination have been collected under four main topics:

Global leadership in renewable energy: Under this topic, it is aimed to raise awareness by developing projects with low-cost and high-efficiency renewable energy technologies instead of fossil-based energy technologies. The calls of the third period of 2021 are completely related to Global Leadership in Renewable Energy topic. 

Special Conditions:

Unless otherwise provided for in the specific call conditions, legal entities forming a consortium are eligible to participate in actions provided that the consortium includes:

• at least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and

The calls open within the scope of this destination have been collected under four main topics:

Global leadership in renewable energy: Under this topic, it is aimed to raise awareness by developing projects with low-cost and high-efficiency renewable energy technologies instead of fossil-based energy technologies. Related calls of this topic are HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-02-01,02,03 and 04. 

Energy systems, grids and storage: The main expected issues from the proposals under this topic are;

• Development of flexible energy systems and grids that provide stability in different conditions,
• Improved energy storage technologies, in particular heat storage, 
• Standardization of devices that can share / exchange data between energy service providers,
• Enhance consumer satisfaction and increase system flexibility,
• New electricity transmission technologies and solutions developed for the transportation of offshore wind energy are gathered under this heading
• Enhance consumer satisfaction and increased system flexibility thanks to enabling consumers to benefit from data-driven energy services and facilitating their investment and engagement in the energy transition.

Related calls of this topic are HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-02-05,06,07,08,09,10 and 11.

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS): Under this topic, it is expected to submit project proposals that will support the integration of CCUS into high emission industrial centres and hubs at the most affordable cost. Related calls of this topic are HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-02-12 and 13.

Cross-cutting issues: This topic was opened in order to prevent the problems of duplication in overlapping areas and to establish an effective communication mechanism between the relevant parties. Related calls of this topic are HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-02-14 and 15. 

Special Conditions:

Unless otherwise provided for in the specific call conditions, legal entities forming a consortium are eligible to participate in actions provided that the consortium includes:
