Description

The security of Europe`s clean energy system will, in the long-run, benefit from research and innovation addressing energy-security relevant criticalities of the underlying clean energy technology value chains.

Project results are expected to contribute to some of the following expected outcomes, from which all actors of European clean energy value chains can benefit:

  • Strengthened European knowledge base, skills, research and industrial leadership on solutions for energy-security related aspects of renewable energy value chains;
  • Technical and value chain solutions are developed addressing key aspects improving the energy security of renewable energy technologies;
  • Strengthened availability of skilled labour (crafts, science and business) in order to increase the intra-European share of entire value chains;
  • Improved competitiveness, sustainability including social awareness, and resilience of European renewable energy value chains.

Scope:
Proposals are expected to provide in-depth assessments that will lead to novel solutions improving critical aspects of specific renewable energy technologies and their respective value chains impacting EU’s energy security.
