Following the Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2506, as of 16th December 2022, no legal commitments (including the grant agreement itself as well as subcontracts, purchase contracts, financial support to third parties etc.) can be signed with Hungarian public interest trusts established under Hungarian Act IX of 2021 or any entity they maintain.
Affected entities may continue to apply to calls for proposals. However, in case the Council measures are not lifted, such entities are not eligible to participate in any funded role (beneficiaries, affiliated entities, subcontractors, recipients of financial support to third parties).
[OPTION FOR MULTI-BENEFICIARY GRANT CALLS: In this case, co-applicants will be invited to remove or replace that entity [SUB-OPTION FOR CALLS ALLOWING ASSOCIATED PARTNERS: and/or to change its status into associated partner]. Tasks and budget may be redistributed accordingly]

Development of novel long-term electricity storage technologies
TOPIC ID: HORIZON-CL5-2023-D3-01-13
Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply (HORIZON-CL5-2023-D3-01)
Type of action: HORIZON-RIA HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions
Type of MGA: HORIZON Action Grant Budget-Based [HORIZON-AG]

Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
- Increased availability, robustness, and safety of sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions to reduce energy losses, increase cost effectiveness and improve the environmental footprint of the energy system.
- Availability and functionality of innovative energy storage systems developed for specific system designs and applications.
- Increase technology leadership, competitiveness, and technology export potential of European storage technology industry.
- Enhanced sustainability of storage technologies, taking fully into account circular economy, social, economic, and environmental aspects in line with the European Green Deal priorities.
Development of novel storage technologies, going beyond the state of the art, which are providing best-fit in form of CAPEX, OPEX, efficiency and sustainability and are adapted to specific needs of the energy system. Examples for such specific needs are responsiveness to energy system flexibility need, necessary storage amount or specific requirements due to off-grid situations. Focus is on longer-duration technologies, compared to lithium-ion technology, which is currently dominating new storage projects. In scope are novel chemical, mechanical, thermic storage technology solutions, excluding batteries and hydrogen. Innovative storage solutions should show clear innovation with respect to the state of the art e.g. through use of new advanced materials or new design solutions, always bearing in mind the objective of sustainability and circular economy, minimizing the environmental footprint, which should be underpinned by an LCA. The developed solutions should be highly performant in respect of expected future investment and operational costs and business cases in existing or emerging energy markets and go beyond the state-of-the art of existing storage solutions in respect of two or more of the following parameters:
- Sustainability;
- Technical performance, including round-trip efficiency;
- Lifetime;
- Non-dependency on location geographical particularities strategic independence (=no or limited use of CRMs);
- Land (space) footprint and/or cost.
Underlying basic material research is excluded.
Projects should address to the extent appropriate intelligent energy management systems, economic viability studies validated by industry and assessment of large-scale replication potential.
The selected projects are expected to contribute to the BRIDGE initiative[1], actively participate to its activities and allocate up to 2% of their budgets to that end. Additional contributions to the ‘Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation’ (AIOTI) and other relevant activities (e.g. clusters of digital projects and coordinating actions) might be considered, when relevant.
Specific Topic Conditions:Activities are expected to achieve TRL 4-5 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
