Opens 5 May 2027

Demonstration of industrial excess/waste heat conversion to mechanical or electrical power

In short

This is an Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €13.5 million for about 2 grants of €6.75 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 5 May 2027. Deadline: 15 September 2027.

What the call wants to achieve

  • Based on the results of the project, at least one industrial sector with a significant heating demand in the EU and Associated Countries develops pathways and business models to measurably increase the industrial excess/waste heat recovery and conversion to power, thereby reducing their energy costs.
  • Measurable improvement of industrial excess/waste heat recovery and conversion to power, possibly combined with energy storage, in terms of energy efficiency, flexibility of electricity production, climate and environment protection, reliability and safety, physical and cyber security, and profitability.
