Supporting the clean energy transition of European industry and businesses

Expected Impact:Proposals should present the concrete results which will be delivered by the activities and demonstrate how these results will contribute to the topic-specific impacts. This demonstration should rely on a solid analysis of the current situation, realistic assumptions and baselines, and establish clear causality links between proposed activities, results and impacts.In terms of qualitative impact, proposals under this topic should demonstrate how they will contribute to the following outcomes, as relevant and depending on the scope (A or B):Implementation of EU legislation (in particular Energy Efficiency Directive and Renewable Energy Directive) addressing the business sectorViable business models either for the deployment of specific solutions or for industrial energy cooperation ready to be rolled out on the marketIndustrial actors integrating sustainable energy solutions in their processesDeployment of energy related infrastructure, energy services, and/or energy exchanges contributing to the clean energy transition of businessesSustainable energy technological solutions adapted to meet industrial processes demandsAcceleration and streamlining of projects to foster clean, affordable and sustainable energy use at regional/local levelIn terms of quantitative impact, proposals should quantify their results and impacts using the indicators provided for the topic, when they are relevant for the proposed activities. Proposals are not expected to address all the listed impacts and indicators. The results and impacts should be quantified for the end of the project and for 5 years after the end of the project. Depending on the scope (A or B) and as relevant, the quantitative indicators for this topic include:Number of standardised technological solutions co-designed to the needs of a specific industrial sectorNumber of new installations of net-zero energy technologies triggered by the project (including commitments)Number of investment plans within industr
