The next round of Large-Scale Projects Call
is planned to take place in November 2022. As
part of the REPowerEU plan, the Innovation Fund
will include a REPowerEU window in its next Large-Scale Projects Call that aims
to accelerate the decarbonisation of industry with the aim of transforming
Europe’s energy system. The budget for this call will be increased to 3 Billion
EUR. The call will consist of the General Window which allows submissions of
project proposals in the usual categories (as was done in the past), but now
will also include the REPowerEU window.
The RePowerEU window will support:
(1) innovative electrification and hydrogen
applications in industry
(2) innovative clean tech manufacturing (such
as electrolysers and fuel cells, innovative renewable equipment, energy storage
or heat pumps for industrial uses)
(3) mid-sized pilot projects for validating,
testing and optimising highly innovative solutions.
NB pillar (3) is applicable to all sectors
and categories under the Innovation Fund.
