Applicants asked the EU 1 questions about this call and the EU published the answers. They clarify the call documents but do not replace them.
The industry sectors covered by the topics implementing Processes4Planet partnership are the following sectors:
* included in the partnership itself, i.e. Cement, Ceramics, Chemicals, Engineering, Non-ferrous metals, minerals, pulp & paper, refining, steel or water;
* and/or covered by the EU Emission Trading System Directive (Annex I), i.e. oil refineries, steel works, and production of iron, aluminium, metals, cement, lime, glass, ceramics, pulp, paper, cardboard, acids and bulk organic chemicals.
Regarding topic HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-TWIN-TRANSITION-34, in terms of Net Zero technologies, please check an updated annex from 23 May 2025 with the "List of final products and specific components considered to be primarily used for the production of net-zero technologies": single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu
Regarding topic HORIZON-CL4-2025-05-TWIN-TRANSITION-35:
* the sentence "Including for supplying the value chains of net zero technologies and components” must be read like: "included, but not limited to"
* about how proposals should integrate “Hubs4Circularity”. Projects should integrate some established circular hubs. Not necessarily as beneficiaries but they should work with other circular hubs into their process, involving the whole value chain in the project. The mention of the “Hubs4Circularity” and the website link of the “Hubs4Circularity community of practice” is to showcase that within this concept, many different hubs are present. Nevertheless, it is important to keep the scope under energy-intensive industries.
