The programme supports research and innovation actions that develop, optimise and demonstrate (for transfer) renewable energy applications. This includes innovative technologies in the field of efficient energy conversion and energy storage such as power-to-gas with focus on biogenic residues and waste streams as well as sector coupling. Demonstration projects are eligible, as long as they are not pure investment projects.
Possible usage of the funding instrument in the P2G context: The German Federal Environmental Foundation has undertaken and participated in various projects involving the use, installation and optimisation of P2G plants, as well as supporting projects for the optimisation of supporting technologies and processes. Its aim of supporting projects with the goal of promoting innovative, exemplary and solution-oriented projects to protect the environment, ties in well the core aspects of a funding instrument, while having sufficient experience in project funding of P2G plants and related projects.
