Green and resilient flexible production processes

Funds redesigned industrial processes that can flex output quickly to match variable renewable-energy supply without losing efficiency.

ClosedEuropean CommissionEU

This single-stage Innovation Action is funded as a lump sum and implements the Processes4Planet partnership, with three grants expected from a twenty-five million euro budget, each worth between eight and ten million euros. The Commission wants industrial plants redesigned so they can ramp production up or down quickly and over a wide range in response to variable renewable-energy supply, without …

The call wants innovation actions that redesign energy-intensive production plants and processes so they can ramp output up or down quickly in response to variable renewable-energy input, while staying energy and resource efficient. It covers storage options and combinations of renewable energy sources, and digital tools that support flexible operation.
