Sector 03
Energy, Climate & Sustainable Mobility
Accelerating energy transition, industrial decarbonisation and sustainable transport.
Explore our servicesThe sector
Europe’s transition towards climate neutrality requires more than the adoption of renewable energy. It demands new energy systems, intelligent infrastructure, advanced storage technologies, resource efficiency and innovative transport solutions.
European funding supports the development and deployment of renewable energy technologies, battery energy storage systems, smart grids, energy-efficient industrial processes, clean mobility, sustainable transport infrastructure and circular economy solutions. Increasing attention is also given to artificial intelligence, predictive systems and data-driven approaches that optimise energy production, distribution, consumption and asset management.
What makes this sector different?
System-level impact
Projects must demonstrate how their solutions contribute to decarbonisation, energy security, efficiency, resilience and the wider European energy transition.
Technology demonstration and deployment
Applicants need credible development pathways, validation environments, technical performance indicators and realistic implementation scenarios.
Circularity and resource efficiency
Beyond technological performance, evaluators increasingly look at the entire lifecycle of solutions, including resource recovery, reuse, recycling and environmental sustainability.
