Concentrated solar thermal systems for decarbonising industrial processes
In short
This is an Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €12 million for about 2 grants of €6 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 3 December 2026. Deadline: 31 March 2027.
What the call wants to achieve
- Showcase the capacity of concentrated solar thermal systems to largely meet the heat demand of industrial processes and to achieve a yearly solar fraction of at least 50%.
- Increase competitiveness of concentrated solar thermal for industrial applications. This is to be proven by an economically feasible business case; by reducing the Levelised Cost of Heating (LCoH); and by valorising and promoting the competitive advantages of the technology such as heat storage, flexibility, and (…)
