The CETP programme is a transformative Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) program, designed to accelerate clean energy transition through annual funding calls. It’s an international collaboration involving 30 countries and more than 50 funding agencies, supported through the Horizon Europe R&I programme. To be eligible you must be based in a company, university, or research institute in the Scottish Enterprise or South of Scotland Enterprise regions AND your work must be collaborative between at least three independent partners from three different countries, of which at least two must be EU member states or Horizon Europe Associated Countries.
There are nine module areas in 2025 that project proposals can be submitted to.
These are:
- Multi-vector interactions between the integrated energy system and industrial frameworks
- Energy system flexibility: renewables production, storage and system integration
- Advanced renewable energy (RE) technologies for power production
- Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)
- Hydrogen and renewable fuels
- Heating and cooling technologies
- Integrated regional energy systems
- Integrated industrial energy systems
- Clean energy integration in the built environment
