8 Steel Annual Priorities RFCS 2018 Embedded real-time analytics of large data streams to predict reliability of steel production plants and processes or to realise machine supported decisions on steel product quality along the production chain or to improve flexibility of production scheduling including human sustainable ergonomic aspects. Improvement in resource or energy efficiency in iron or steelmaking processes, by use of by-products/residuals or waste heat. Pilot/demonstration projects or Accompanying Measures of emerging and innovating technologies leading to energy efficiency improvements and CO2 emission reduction. 8

15 Innovation Fund

16 Innovation Fund fund Support for low-carbon, innovative demonstrations 450+ million allowances, volume of funding will depend on carbon price (EUR 3-11 bn), to be progressively released until Utilisation of NER300 leftovers. Building on existing NER300 Programme for renewables and CCS, applying the lessons learned New: extension of scope to low carbon innovation in ETS Annex 1 industrial sectors (incl. CCU) and energy storage Open for big and small projects in all Member States, first round of support around 2020

17 Innovation Fund Innovation legal Fund basis (tbc) Scope: innovation in low-carbon technologies and processes including CCU, and products substituting carbon intensive ones produced in ETS Annex I sectors Environmentally safe CCS projects Innovative RES and energy storage - In geographically balanced locations within EU - Projects in all MS including small scale projects

18 Innovation Fund Expert consultations: No shortage of low-carbon solutions that should be demonstrated in the coming decade 85 pathways & technologies identified, many of them cross-sectoral Markets, technologies and investments change and evolve rapidly flexibility in eligible technologies Cross-sectorial cooperation may unlock new value chains and economic benefits, strong interest CCUS infrastructure, Hydrogen, Energy Storage or Integration of Renewables 18

19 Innovation Fund Financial support for projects should be linked to their risk profile A variety of financial products Milestones funding according to investment cycle Re-direct financing from underperforming projects to new projects Complementarity with other relevant EU and MS Financial Instruments Innovation Fund as a set of financing products and services Project lifecycle perspective (not programme perspective) 19
