Call for proposals
Horizon 2020 – Societal Challenges - “Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future: secure, clean and efficient energy”
– H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020
Objective and description
New
topics have been opened for submission of proposals under the Horizon
2020 Programme within the pillar “Societal Challenges”, under the work
programme “Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy”, within the call for
proposals “Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future: secure,
clean and efficient energy” – H2020-LC-SC3-2018-2019-2020.
This call underpins the
goals of the Paris Agreement and the "Clean Energy for all European"
package, including the Communication "Accelerating Clean Energy
Innovation" (COM (2016) 736) and the SET-Plan priorities, with concrete
R&I actions focussing on the accelerated transformation of the
energy system, and other sectors, towards carbon neutrality and climate
resilience. Activities also fully contribute to the Sustainable
Development Goals and the Horizon 2020 spending targets on Sustainable
Development and climate action.
Activities supported in this call should deliver:
·
on the supply side, cheaper and more performant generation technologies
(e.g. renewable energy technologies) which are better integrated in
various levels of the energy system;
·
a smarter, more flexible and resilient energy system (including
affordable and integrated energy storage solutions), taking into account
current and future climate change adverse impacts;
·
on the demand side, increased overall energy efficiency (e.g. in the
EU's building stock) and provision of means to enable consumers to play a
more active role in the energy transition;
·
a better understanding of the specific socio-economic contexts in which
the energy transition takes place which will allow to address obstacles
in a more effective way;
·
increased market-uptake of innovations, including the implementation of
energy policy, the preparation for rolling-out investments, and the
support for capacity-building.
