Climate Change Mitigation

This grant aims to support research institutions, businesses, and local authorities in the European Union by promoting a socially just and sustainable transition towards a climate-neutral economy by 2050. This initiative focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency to meet the EU emission reduction target of at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

Type of Project to Develop

• Projects focused on recovering, recycling, and reclaiming ozone-depleting substances and alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases.
• Projects supporting the shift to zero-emission mobility in road transport.
• Projects aimed at decarbonizing non-road transport modes and promoting intermodality and modal shift.

Eligibility Criteria

• Research institutions, businesses, and local authorities within the EU.
• Proposals that demonstrate a clear plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy efficiency.
• Projects that involve collaboration between multiple stakeholders, including public and private sectors.

Eligible Expenses

• Costs for developing and implementing technologies for the recovery and recycling of ozone-depleting substances.
• Costs related to the promotion and development of zero-emission mobility solutions.
• Costs for the implementation of land and coastal management practices that impact emissions and carbon removals.

Examples of Eligible Projects

• A project that develops new methods for the recovery and recycling of ozone-depleting substances in industrial foams, reducing emissions and promoting sustainability.
• An initiative supporting the deployment of electric vehicle infrastructure in urban areas to facilitate the shift to zero-emission mobility.
• A collaborative effort to decarbonize freight transport by promoting the use of rail and inland waterways, reducing reliance on road transport.
