GEOTHERMICA and EN SGplusRegSys (JPP SES) Joint Call
GEOTHERMICA and EN SGplusRegSys (JPP SES) launches a joint call for proposals for transnational projects aiming at accelerating the transition to climate-neutral heating and cooling solutions through research, development, demonstration and innovation.
Thematic Areas:
● Sub-surface climate-neutral heat and cold sources: geothermal energy from the shallow and deeper subsurface, including exploration, resource development techniques and operation.
● Above-ground heat and cold sources, including but not limited to solar thermal, local and regional excess resources, concentrated solar for (industrial) thermal energy purposes, ambient heat and cold from the air, surface water, sewers etc.
● Thermal storage, including but not limited to large-scale seasonal subsurface thermal storage, smallscale hour-to-day thermal storage, smart systems balancing supply and demand, excess power to thermal energy.
● Heating and/or cooling networks, conversion and integration, including but not limited to integration of renewable energies such as geothermal and solar thermal, innovations for more cost-efficient heating and/or cooling networks, retrofit of heating and/or cooling networks, conversion technologies such as heat pumps, and technologies for sector coupling, and smart integration.
● End-use systems: distribution systems within the end-user system (typically a building or a home) are a relevant part of the heating and/or cooling system because the temperature level matters.
Eligible Consortium: At least three eligible applicants in two participating countries must be in the consortium. Universities, public bodies, NGOs, and companies are eligible for the project application.
Participating Countries: Germany, USA, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Ireland, Scotland, Israel, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, Hungary and Norway.
Project Budget: Maximum 2 Million TL
Application Deadline: October 4, 2021 (For submission of pre-proposal)
