Best international practice for scaling up sustainable biofuels

Type d'action : HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions
Nombre d'étapes : Single stage
Date d'ouverture : 06 septembre 2022
Date de clôture : 10 janvier 2023 17:00
Budget : €9 000 000
Call : Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply
Call Identifier : HORIZON-CL5-2022-D3-03
Description :

ExpectedOutcome:

The need of including sustainable biofuels in a transformed integrated energy system is recognized worldwide. Enhancing the European global role in this area will increase the potential to export European renewable fuel technologies into global developing markets, and improve sustainability of biofuel value chains worldwide while supporting the EU goals for climate change mitigation in 2030 and 2050.

Project results are expected to contribute to some of the following expected outcomes:

  • Build global knowledge for the scaling-up and the sustainability assessment of sustainable biofuels value chains.
  • Contribute to cost-effective and more sustainable large-scale production of sustainable biofuels.
  • Contribute to Mission Innovation Challenge n°4 Sustainable Biofuels[1].
  • Contribute to the SET Plan Action 8 Bioenergy and Renewable Fuels for Sustainable Transport.
  • Accelerate capacity building for sustainable biofuels in the world.
  • Develop networks for skill development and knowledge sharing in sustainable biofuels value chains worldwide.

Scope:

Proposals will aim at fostering international cooperation to develop best practices and concepts along the entire value chain for accelerating the scale-up of sustainable biofuels worldwide. Scaling up sustainable biofuels is a global challenge in terms of environmental, social, and economic sustainability, which can benefit from international collaboration and knowledge exchange. Proposals should address systemic constraints and opportunities for scaling up complete value chains of sustainable biofuels and propose solutions. Any sustainable non-food/feed biomass feedstock and any innovative technology or combinations of them should be considered. Proposals should enhance overall cost-effectiveness and sustainability of large scale production of sustainable biofuels based on Life Cycle Analysis addressing social, economic and environmental aspects. International cooperation with Mission Innovation countries is expected.

Specific Topic Conditions:

Activities are expected to achieve TRL 4-5 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
