Development of near zero-emission biomass heat and/or CHP including carbon capture

This program supports research and innovation aimed at developing advanced biomass-based energy solutions with minimal environmental impact. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, and projects should demonstrate socio-economic benefits, especially in regions transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The program provides funding for projects focused on developing and demonstrating near zero-emission biomass heat and/or CHP technologies, emphasizing efficient and sustainable use of biomass residues. These projects should integrate advanced carbon capture solutions and be implemented at a pilot scale to assess and improve their cost performance and environmental impact.

This program offers grant funding to support the development of biomass-based energy technologies. Each successful project can receive a substantial grant to cover its research and innovation activities.

Applicants and beneficiaries must adhere to general and specific conditions outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme and related annexes. This includes criteria for admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and operational requirements. Collaboration in consortia is typically required, and specific provisions for satellite data usage apply.

The application process for this call was a single-stage submission, with evaluation based on specific criteria. The deadline for submissions has now passed.

This funding program is established and governed by a comprehensive set of legal documents and regulations from the European Union, ensuring its legitimacy and guiding its implementation.
