Innovation and Networks Executive Agency

Fifteen energy projects selected for Horizon 2020 funding

INEA ceased operations on 31 March 2021. The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) was established on 1 April 2021 to take over its legacy portfolio as well as additional EU funding programmes.

Creation date: April 21, 2017

The projects plan to develop next-generation technologies for biofuels, or for capturing and storing CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, as well as support market uptake of renewable energy technologies. They have applied for funding under the 2016 - 2017 Competitive Low-Carbon Energy call.

The projects will receive almost €74 million in total, following the signature of grant agreements prepared in cooperation with INEA. More details about the successful projects will be announced after the grant agreements are signed.  

The projects are expected to be launched by 5 September at the latest.
