13 Wave 3 (LCE) Types of Action Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) Innovation Actions (IA) Topic Activity Budget ( ) LCE Increasing the competitiveness of the EU PV manufacturing industry 25,000,000 LCE Solutions for reduced maintenance, increased reliability and extended life-time of off-shore wind turbines/farms Status : Open for submission since 11th May 10,000,000 LCE Scaling up in the ocean energy sector to arrays 15,000,000 LCE Demonstration of the most promising advanced biofuel pathways 15,000,000 LCE Enabling pre-commercial production of advanced aviation biofuel 15,000,000 LCE International Cooperation with Brazil on advanced lignocellulosic biofuels 5,000,000 Total 85,000,000 13

14 Scope: LCE : Increasing the competitiveness of the EU PV manufacturing industry Demonstrating manufacturing innovation and scale-up of highly performing PV technologies at pilot-line level, targeting GW-scale, high-yield throughput and costeffective industrial production of cells and modules. Expected Impact: Trigger new investments in the European PV industry, via the establishment of pilot lines which target innovative/optimised production processes and/or tailored development of equipment for mainstream PV technologies at the state of the art of research, and show the potential for cost and performance competitiveness of the final product

15 Scope: LCE : Solutions for reduced maintenance, increased reliability and extended life-time of off-shore wind turbines/farms The focus is to reduce the need for maintenance of wind turbines/farms and to develop measures for life-time extension, demonstrating innovative solutions and tools. The action can include the development of tools for doing predictive maintenance, hereunder models of component/soil degradation, and establishment a database with operational and failure data for validation of tools. The actions should consider not only the wind turbines but also the substructure and the soil conditions. Participation of wind turbine manufacturers and large wind farm operators is expected. Expected Impact: reduction of component failure and increased reliability. more reliable wind turbines and plants. improved performance for new and operating off-shore wind power plants and therefore to the cost of energy. exploitation potential in the onshore wind sector.. strengthening the European industrial technology base, thereby creating growth and jobs in Europe.

16 Scope: LCE : Scaling up in the ocean energy sector to arrays Applying projects will have to clearly describe the selected technology. The chosen project technology will have to bring evidence at the date of application of previous technology demonstration in real conditions connected to the grid to enhance the likely success of the project and provide a clear cost reduction roadmap that deploying in the pilot project will achieve. Installing more than one technology in the same array is permitted, but this should clearly have added value to this action. The installation has to be grid-connected. Expected Impact: The action will deliver a cost-effective array and hence will demonstrate pathways to reduce the cost of energy. It is expected that as a result of this action, ocean energy would become more commercially attractive for investors. The action should contribute to the strengthening the European industrial technology base in the ocean energy field, thereby creating growth and jobs in Europe.

17 Scope: LCE : Demonstration of the most promising advanced biofuel pathways. Projects should target the most promising advanced liquid biofuel production pathways incorporating new or improved biochemical/thermochemical/chemical conversion together with upgrading technologies and valorisation of co-products that improve the economic viability of the fuel production. The proposals should respect the principle of the minimum bioenergy content laid out in the EIBI Implementation Plan: 'At least 70% of the bioproducts produced by the plant shall be bioenergy (biofuels, heat, power), calculated on energy basis.. Expected Impact: reduces the technological risks and paves the way for subsequent first-of-a-kind industrial projects. Favourable energy and GHG balances are expected. The demonstrated industrial concepts should ensure the technoeconomic feasibility of the entire value chain and have the potential for a significant social and economic impact, notably in terms of job creation, economic growth and safe and affordable energy supply

18 Scope: LCE : Enabling pre-commercial production of advanced aviation biofuel. Projects should target the most promising advanced aviation biofuel production pathways incorporating upgrading technologies and valorisation of co-products that improve the economic viability of the fuel production. The ultimate production target of aviation biofuel for the complete plant shall be in the range of several tens of thousand tonnes per year. The aviation biofuel must be fully compliant with international aviation fuel standards and therefore suitable for commercial flight operations. Where relevant, projects should also make use of existing infrastructures for transportation, logistics, and fuelling for performing commercial flights with the produced fuel. Relevant datasets shall be collected for these operations... Expected Impact: respond to the EU FlightPath objectives for commercial deployment and and its target of using 2 million tons aviation biofuel by 2020 Favourable energy and GHG balances are expected. The demonstrated industrial concepts should ensure the techno-economic feasibility of the entire value chain and have the potential for a significant social and economic impact, notably in terms of job creation, economic growth and safe and affordable energy supply

19 LCE : International Cooperation with Brazil on advanced lignocellulosic biofuels a. Gasification of bagasse to syngas and advanced liquid fuel production, including biofuels for aviation. b. Applied research to biomass production logistics and applied research for feedstock diversification for advanced biofuels. c. Development of new fermentation and separation technologies for advanced liquid biofuels and applied research to increase the energy efficiency of advanced biofuel processes. Biofuels produced from starch, sugar and oil fractions of food/feed crops are excluded. Joint work can - where relevant - build upon the Brazilian sugarcane ethanol model, and should benefit from the Brazilian and European experience in biofuels.
