RFCS Big Tickets — Coal

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration coal-transition projects reaching TRL 7-8, aimed at repurposing mine sites and cutting methane and mine-water impacts.

Activities are expected to start at TRL 7-8 already, since this topic funds pilot or demonstration work rather than early research. Proposals must align with the Just Transition Mechanism's goals, show how the former coal region's economy and society would benefit, and may include worker reskilling and upskilling. This single topic carried its own EUR 35 million 2026 budget, separate from the RFCS
