Horizon 2020 Energy and Transport COMPENDIUM of projects implemented by INEA Innovation and Networks Executive Agency 1 Foreword Dirk Beckers INEA’s Director With nearly €80 billion of funding for the period 2014 to 2020, Horizon 2020 is the European Union’s biggest Research and Innovation programme ever. It promises more discoveries, more innovative solutions and more world-firsts - by taking great ideas from the laboratory to the market. In view of the challenges involved in managing thousands of projects supported by Horizon 2020, the European Commission chose to delegate management of parts of the programme to its executive agencies. INEA, the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency, is one of them - established to implement EU funding programmes for transport, energy and telecommunications. This includes parts of Horizon 2020; the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) - a key EU funding instrument that supports the development of high-performing, sustainable and interconnected Trans-European Networks in the fields of transport, energy and telecommunications; and projects that are the legacy of the 2007-2013 TEN-T and Marco Polo (freight performance) programmes. In the 2014 to 2020 period, INEA will manage a total budget of up to €34.9 billion: €6.7 billion for Horizon 2020 and €28.2 billion for CEF. INEA’s main aim is to provide stakeholders with expertise and high-level programme management, whilst promoting synergies among programmes, in order to benefit economic growth and EU citizens. The Agency uses its expertise to increase efficiency of technical and financial management for all programmes and beneficiaries. This applies to the entire project lifecycle — from the calls for proposals and evaluation of projects to be awarded financial support, to the follow-up of project implementation and control of the use of funds allocated. INEA provides a single access point for funding for all potential beneficiaries, allowing them to benefit from the Agency’s long- standing experience and proven high-level performance. The Agency is expected to manage a total of over 2000 projects by 2020. Managing research and innovation projects was a new and exciting task that was added to INEA’s portfolio in 2014, and since then the Agency’s Horizon 2020 Department has grown significantly. In particular INEA supports two societal challenges: Secure, clean and efficient energy, and Smart, green and integrated transport. So far, the Agency has selected for funding 343 Horizon 2020 projects – and another 400 are yet to come. The publication of this compendium follows INEA’s efforts to promote additional platforms for projects communication and dissemination. The compendium presents, for the first time, a full overview of INEA’s diverse Horizon 2020 project portfolio covering the first three years of H2020 operation. 2 3 Alan Haigh Head of Horizon 2020 Department at INEA Charts Looking back, it feels almost inconceivable that when I arrived at INEA in 2014 there Horizon 2020 energy were no other staff members in the Horizon 2020 Department. The first project was number of ongoing projects and EU funding per topics area handed to the Agency by the European Commission in August 2014. Then the hard work began to build up the department and select the first projects orf funding. 40 Energy Systems €365.7 M Today, INEA manages 343 Horizon 2020 projects1 in the areas of secure, clean 9 Smart Cities €210.5 M and efficient energy and smart, green and integrated transport. The Horizon 2020 15 Biofuels and Alternative Fuels €113.8 M Department consists of two units: the Energy Unit (H1) and the Transport Unit (H2). 11 Ocean €102.9 M Altogether, the department employs 44 dedicated staff members from 16 countries, 10 Power Plants/CCS & CCU €92.2 M experts in all areas covered by INEA’s Horizon 2020 project portfolio. 11 Geothermal €83.6 M 8 Wind €69.8 M Around €3.8 billion from INEA’s overall Horizon 2020 budget of €6.7 billion has been 8 CSP €52.0 M earmarked for funding energy projects and €2.9 billion has been allocated to support 8 PV €46.1 M transport projects in 2014 – 2020. We are now almost halfway in distributing these 6 CHP €30.3 M EU funds. From the 343 currently running projects, 169 are carried out in the field of 14 Bioenergy Market Uptake €24.5 M clean energy (overall EU funding: €1.28 billion) and 174 focus on sustainable transport 7 Social Sciences and Humanities €24.0 M (overall EU funding: €1.06 billion). More projects will be selected in upcoming calls for 9 RES Market Uptake €16.1 M proposals. By 2020, INEA expects to have funded roughly 800 Horizon 2020 projects. The projects are carried out across the whole research and innovation chain, from 4 New knowledge technologies €14.8 M the laboratory to full-scale demonstrations in the real world. Their overarching aim is 4 Shale gas €11.5 M to develop and bring closer to the market new technologies, products, processes and 2 System Modelling €7.7 M services that could mitigate climate change and boost Europe’s energy security while 1 Hydropower €5.9 M creating new jobs and making the European economy more competitive. 1 Solar Heating and Cooling €4.4 M 1 Blue Growth €2.0 M INEA holds a crucial role in organising the evaluation and managing the projects selected for funding. To facilitate the work done in the projects, we also organise thematic workshops to allow projects to meet and exchange know-how, and participate Horizon 2020 transport number of ongoing projects and EU funding per topics area in topical conferences across Europe to inform about funding opportunities. This compendium features all H2020 Energy and Transport projects that have been 30 Green vehicles €238.1 M selected for EU funding and that have signed a grant agreement with INEA by 30 31 Aviation €156.6 M June 2017. The projects are divided in two categories, energy and transport, and are 12 Waterborne €129.1 M listed under the main areas of their focus, such as smart grids, biofuels, aviation or 21 Urban mobility €120.2 M urban mobility. The factsheets include information about the scope of the project, as 15 Road €91.7 M well as the EU funding. Individual factsheets of all the projects can be also downloaded 6 Logistics €69.2 M from INEA’s website (www.ec.europa.eu/inea). The projects are available in the Horizon 7 Automated Road Transport €61.7 M 2020 section of the website; they are grouped under energy and transport themes, and 9 Safety €53.8 M are listed under the main areas of their focus.
