- Info on CEF calls
SYNERG-E Launch Event
- A pathway to decarbonisation
Hotel Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg, Austria

Overall EC Funding Pipeline for Innovation
- Where does the blending call fit? -
After supporting about 100 alt.fuel trials, we see now the follow-ons of
many trials in the proposals submitted to the blending call (14/7/2017)!
Roll-outs into market are commencing ("works" under TEN-T/CEF)
» Different banking options: Ecoh/non-cohesion, EIB/national/house banks – now harmonised for DL2 (ref. call ammendment)
» Overwhelming uptake in 1.DL : -> concept works – real life trials as preparation for roll-outs into market
» DL1: 10 of 16 inno.projets (all altern. fuels) –> 63 %, i.e about 2/3 success rate!
» DL2: 350 million grant budget for inno (plus 115 million for all others); 2nd deadline moved to 12 April 2018 ; 5 million min. total budget ; call includes now pure urban node projects; all banks allowed for all Member States (MS)
CEF Synergy :TSO2020 – A milestone for European deployment of innovation

CEF Calls – Possible Next Steps for Innovation - Preliminary brain-storming level, unclear because lack of budget (*)
. Digital Transport Call – May 2018 (deadline Oct'2018) (all indicative)
» Normal Grant call; about €450 million; topics: ITS, RIS, ERTMS, etc (no alt.fuels) . Next Transport Calls – 2019/2020 ? – (budget unclear, depends on CEF review)
» Works: Grants & loans (&assets) in one proposal (up to 20% grant)
» Trials: Grants (up to 50%); geographical restrictions possible
» On the comprehensive TEN-T network – instead of core only!
» Support for infra & vehicles for all transport modes (no capping on mobile equipment) . Next Synergy Calls – End 2018 / Begin 2019 ?
» Studies with integrated deplovment = Real-life Trials (grant up to 50+10=60%)
» Works = Roll-outs (grant up to 20+10=30%)
» New: Budget only from CEF-Transport -> No Energy PCI, just on located TEN-T
» Legal reason: Art.33 of TEN-T Guidelines has full transport plus enough energy and ICT elements.
» As before: on the comprehensive TEN-T network – instead of restriction to core!
» Budgets from €20 to 100 million: needs strong support from promoters!
» Request by ministries: All regions in all Member States must be able to take part!
(*) Availability of budgets depends heavily on results mid-term review of CEF in 2018, retrieving unused moneys from non-performing projects.

Possible Next Steps to Accelerate Innovation in Europe (1) - Very preliminary brain-storming level – Innovation as a Business Case (using "market-sided innovation")
. A (Radical) Innovation Deployment Programme for 2020+?
» No research, no demos! (are covered by RTD Framework Prg. 9) (ESA continues its role)
» Basis: Follow-on of 3-sector CEF Synergy – 1 large programme focussed on deployment of innovation (and nothing else!) finally achieving real European dimension in order to compete on the global scene & avoid overlapps, scattered budgets and confusion.
» Content: Perhaps even wider in topics than CEF? – But all as business cases - For example:
• The Green Hydrogen City
• The European Giga Battery Factory (producing also the cells)
• Introducing new modes of transport
- space travel (*)
- 3-dim surface travel (*) (+)
• The Self-sustaining city on the ocean floor (*)
• Exploring the solar system (*) – space mining, station on moon & mars, colonies , – Long term: The Self-sustaining City on Mars, terra-forming, etc.
(*) Mitigating, perhaps solving the limited-earth-resources problem
(+) Alternative fuels will not solve congestion

Possible Next Steps to Accelerate Innovation in Europe (2) - Very preliminary brain-storming level
» Finance: Very successful CEF financial format: (1) short deployment pilots (real-life trials preparing roll-outs) with 50% non-depreciation grants & (2) roll-outs into mass-market with blending (20% grants) and pure loans
» Discussion: Let's discuss now and start preparing!
• Does Europe need a general innovation deployment programme for 2020+ ?
• What impact on next financial framework (2021 – 27) ?
