Description
1) Objective
Sustainable Energy (SE) development is essential for Africa and Europe’s green energy transition in order to tackle the global challenge of climate change. Providing reliable and clean energy access to millions of people worldwide is necessary. To this end, the Long-Term Joint EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership on Sustainable Energy (LEAP-SE) program co-funded by the European Commission (EC) under Horizon Europe aims at developing a long-term partnership between Europe and Africa on Research and Innovation (R&I) on sustainable energy. This partnership is set within the framework of the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (CCSE) partnership of the AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) on Science, Technology and Innovation.
The range of activities recommended for collaboration under LEAP-SE will focus on 7 identified multi-annual roadmaps presented in the Call and also on the LEAP-RE thematic priorities:
- Assessment of Renewable Energy Sources and integration of RES in sustainable energy scenarios;
- End-of-life and second‐life management and environmental impact of RE components;
- Smart stand‐alone systems;
- Smart grid (different scales) for off grid application;
- Processes and appliances for productive uses (agriculture, mobility and industry);
- Innovative solutions for priority domestic uses (clean cooking and cold chain);
- Production and utilization of Green Hydrogen
2) Eligibility
Eligible applicants must be private or public bodies established in one of the eligible countries.
3) Location
