The Project
The ETS Innovation Fund (IF) provides support for low-carbon technologies. While results from H2020 offer promising solutions, the task of developing viable business cases and mobilising investors is demanding. Moreover, IF regulations pose challenges for the industry. The EU-funded DIAMONDS4IF project will ensure project viability, prepare applicants for IF applications, and develop a comprehensive approach towards stakeholders. It will also enhance understanding of relevant regulations and address questions arising from project planning. The project will create a toolbox and generate at least five robust proposals with detailed plans for scalability, commercialisation, and financial models. DIAMONDS4IF seeks to establish a continuous innovation pipeline from H2020 innovations to deployment.
The Outputs verified
5 sound proposals including the detailed plans for scalability, commercialisation, and financial models to be presented to the IF. The use cases will e.g. directly implement REPower and climate relevant projects, comprising for example ~100MWh offshore hybrid energy; 1.5GW of PV manufacturing capacity; 10GW of resource-efficient wafer production in Europe.
