There are open calls for projects under Horizon Europe’s Work Programme for 2023-2024 Cluster 5 which groups together topics on Climate Action, Energy and Mobility. The overarching driver for this cluster is to accelerate the twin green and digital transitions and associated transformation of our economy, industry and society to contribute to the EU reaching its climate goals, and increasing energy resilience.
Deadline: 18 April 2024
The calls cover three subject areas or ‘destinations’:
Cross-sectoral solutions for the climate transition (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01)
This Destination covers thematic areas which are cross-cutting by nature and can provide key solutions for climate, energy, and mobility applications, such as batteries, hydrogen, communities and cities, early-stage breakthrough technologies as well as citizen engagement.
Topics (5):
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-04: Emerging energy technologies for a climate neutral Europe
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-03: Development of technical and business solutions to optimise the circularity, resilience, and sustainability of the European battery value chain (Batt4EU Partnership)
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-02: Non-Li Sustainable Batteries with European Supply Chains for Stationary Storage (Batt4EU Partnership)
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-01: Advanced sustainable and safe pre-processing technologies for End-of-Life (EoL) battery recycling (Batt4EU Partnership)
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-05: Furthering the development of a materials acceleration platform for sustainable batteries (combining AI, big data, autonomous synthesis robotics, high throughput testing) (Batt4EU Partnership)
Efficient, sustainable and inclusive energy use (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D4-01)
This Destination addresses activities targeting the energy demand side, notably a more efficient use of energy as regards buildings and industry. It contributes to the activities of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) and its implementation working groups.
Topics (3):
