Do you want to contribute to research and innovation for a sustainable and biobased society?
Sweden aims to become a fossil-free welfare nation by 2045. This call for proposals provides aid to projects which, based on sustainable biobased raw materials, have the potential to contribute to solving the energy and climate challenges that Sweden faces as part of meeting this goal. This means that the projects must be relevant to the future energy system, while at the same time contributing to solving the climate challenges.
The call relates to research, innovation and commercialisation activities that span from land to market. This includes supply and use or conversion of biomass, biobased value chains, biobased systems and sustainability issues relevant to this area, as well as societal and social issues arising from the transition to a fossil-free and biobased society. This may include entire value chains and systems, or specific parts of these.
Application deadline: 23 June 2021
