On 1 December 2020, a Second Call for Proposals was launched for a total of EUR 100 million. The new call for small-scale projects, with total capital costs of less than EUR 7.5 million, aims to complement the previous call for large-scale projects in order to provide an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises in particular to receive support for their projects.
Participation is open to private entities, public bodies or international organisations, either individually or in partnership, and actions must take place on the territory of one or more EU Member States, Norway or Iceland.
Projects will be assessed on the basis of their avoidance of polluting emissions, innovation potential, financial and technical maturity and potential for expansion and cost-efficiency.
The deadline to participate is 10 March 2021.
