CZELO

The two new calls valued at € 142 million aim to support the strategic goals of the Green Deal and Just Transition.

The Research Fund for Coal and Steel has published two new calls worth € 142 million. The overall budget combines last year's unspent funds with the 2022 budget and consists of two challenges:

"Big Tickets" call on steel (€ 104 million)

  • Covers pilot and demonstrators for clean steel making technologies, carbon capture and storage, and carbon neutral iron ore reduction.

"Big Tickets" call on coal (€ 38 million)

  • Covers pilot and demonstrators for the repurposing of closed coal mines to monitor erosion, water and emissions.

Both calls will build on previously funded research, in particular the "Green Steel for Europe" and "Recovery" projects.

Find more information on both calls on the FTO portal.

Deadline on both calls is May 3, 2022.
