“Efficient and circular artificial photosynthesis” within the framework of Horizon Europe Program
Open Call “Efficient and circular artificial photosynthesis” within the framework of Horizon Europe Program
The purpose of the call: development of novel artificial photosynthesis technologies, which allow for improved efficiency of light harvesting, conversion to electrochemical potential and energy fixation to carriers with strictly implementing circularity by design and efficient use of carrier and (photo)catalyst materials through novel photoelectrochemical, bio-hybrid, or biological pathways for solar fuel production with increased efficiency in comparison to light and dark reactions of natural photosynthesis.. Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
- Advance the European scientific basis, leadership and global role in the area of renewable and solar fuels;
- Provide solar fuel breakthrough solutions by bridging solar energy and fuel needs with the potential of high penetration in the energy system, ensuring stability and security of energy supply;
- Increase European technology competitiveness in solar fuel technologies, thus supporting the EU goals for climate protection, energy independence and economic growth;
- Develop artificial photosynthesis solutions, which will minimize further downstream processing and increase their scalability and integration within the industrial value chain.
Project proposals will be accepted from September 6, 2022 to January 10, 2023.
