More Low Carbon Technologies, Better Network Resilience
EIC
Closing date: n/a
The provision and utilisation of energy in the UK is changing as we move towards a low carbon future within the context of net zero and the energy transition. We also need to manage the resilience of the electricity distribution networks and safeguard the integrity of the electricity network itself during this transition.

Personal Reliance on Low Carbon Technologies
EIC
Closing date: n/a
The provision and utilisation of energy in the UK is changing as we progress towards a low carbon future. We also need to manage the experience of stakeholders and safeguard vulnerable customers as we progress with the decarbonisation of the energy system itself. This creates new challenges for network owners and operators as they seek to efficiently manage aging assets at the same time as integrating new technologies and addressing the changing expectations of a wide and diverse range of stakeholders.

Implications of Climate Change for Energy Networks
EIC
Closing date: n/a
The provision and utilisation of energy in the UK is changing as we move towards a low carbon future within the context of net zero and the energy transition. In addition, the decarbonisation of heating will alter energy flows, which are likely to change significantly with the weather. The assets interacting with the electricity distribution networks are changing through the use of a wide range of Low Carbon Technologies, such as electric vehicles, renewable generation and low carbon heating.

Low carbon industrial production using CCUS
Horizon 2020 Framework Programme (H2020)
Closing date: 1 September 2020
Projects will focus on integrating CO2 capture in industrial installations, whilst addressing the full CCUS chain. Projects will elaborate a detailed plan on how to use the results, i.e. the subsequent transport, utilisation and/or underground storage of the captured CO2. Projects are expected to bring technologies to TRL 6-7.

Mitigating household energy poverty
Horizon 2020
Closing date: 10 September 2020
European households continue to spend an increasing share of income on energy, leading to higher rates of energy poverty and negatively affecting living conditions and health. Recent estimates suggest that more than 50 million Europeans are affected by energy poverty. Although roots of this phenomenon lie mainly in low incomes and poor thermal efficiency of buildings, energy efficiency measures at the household level and increased use of renewable energy are key tools in addressing energy poverty and can bring energy savings, leading to lower fuel costs and improved living conditions. The issue is in part exacerbated by a lack of sufficient knowledge on how to identify energy poor households.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 1 and 2 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

Supporting public authorities in driving the energy transition
Horizon 2020
Closing date: 10 September 2020
The delivery of the Energy Union targets requires the full engagement of the public sector at all governance levels.
Local and regional public authorities have a crucial role in setting ambitious energy efficiency strategies, for instance in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy and Smart Cities & Communities or the Clean Energy for EU islands initiative. The political commitment at local level should be enhanced and the focus should turn to implementation and effective monitoring of concrete energy efficiency solutions and actions, which can contribute to modernise and decarbonise the European economy.

Feasibility Studies
ESA Space Solutions
Closing date: 31 December 2020
Feasibility Studies provide the preparatory framework to identify, analyse and define new potentially sustainable applications and services within the ESA Business Applications programme. They have to be compliant with the following requirements: they are user driven, they benefit from the integrated use of one or more space assets and the tenderer intends to pursue a demonstration project after successful completion of the feasibility study.
The Feasibility Study is likely to run at least 6 months but shall not run longer than 9 months. The duration depends on the complexity of the activity and the degree of upfront buy-in by user communities and other partners. Assuming the Feasibility Study is successful, it is expected that it evolves into a Demonstration Project, the final target being the implementation of a commercial service.
