Collaborative Projects for Energy Efficiency and Transition in Buildings, Neighborhoods and Industry
Funds Norwegian industry, research organisations, and public bodies developing technology for energy efficiency and energy transition in buildings, local areas, and industry.
The Research Council of Norway (RCN) runs this call as a grant for projects that build technology and solutions for energy efficiency and the shift to renewable energy in buildings, local areas, and parts of Norwegian industry. It is one of RCN's Collaborative Projects calls, a format built for public bodies, companies, and research organisations to work together on one project rather than apply a…
Technology and solutions for energy efficiency and energy transition in buildings, local areas, and selected parts of Norwegian industry. This covers using surplus heat, producing power locally, how different energy sources work together, and moving from electricity- or fossil-based heating to other renewable energy sources.
