Topic description
 
ExpectedOutcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

Expand the technology portfolio for ready to pre-commercial plant investments in synthetic renewable fuel technologies for aviation and /or shipping.
Support de-risking the technology, boost scale-up of synthetic renewable fuel for aviation and /or shipping and contribute to their market up-take.
Respond to short- and medium-term needs for renewable fuels in aviation and /or shipping.
Support better integration of synthetic renewable fuel technologies in aviation and /or shipping.
Scope:Demonstration of innovative technological pathways for the production of synthetic renewable fuels for aviation and /or shipping from renewable energy, CO2, and/or renewable carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen or their compounds, as for example renewable synthetic paraffinic kerosene, renewable methanol/methane and renewable ammonia. Pathways via production of renewable hydrogen or renewable hydrogen ionic compounds from all forms and origins of renewable energy (e.g., electricity, direct sunlight, heat) are in scope. Cost reduction compared to current state of the art including via electricity pathways and above state of the art GHG reduction from fossil fuel equivalents are expected to be shown. An assessment for the scalability potential of the technology, as well as for the overall energy efficiency, the GHG emissions and sustainability based on life cycle analysis should be included. Proposals should provide information and assessment about the economic feasibility of the technology at commercial scale as appropriate The exploitation plans should include preliminary feasibility study and business plan also indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (such as private equity, the InvestEU, the EU Catalyst Partnership and the Innovation Fund).

Specific Topic Conditions: 

Activities are expected to achieve TRL 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
