The Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) is a Co-funded Partnership project supported under the Horizon Europe Programme’s Cluster 5: Climate, Energy, and Mobility. Through CETPartnership, the aim is to implement research, development, and innovation (RDI) projects that contribute to the clean energy transition across Europe. Within the scope of the initiative, projects selected through an international evaluation process will be funded by national funding agencies of the participating countries. This collaborative approach enables the alignment of national and European efforts in advancing the energy transition and accelerating the development of sustainable energy technologies.

For project proposals to be prepared within the scope of the call modules, it is mandatory to comply with both the international eligibility criteria and the national rules and conditions of the partner countries. Within the scope of the call, the international consortium submitting the project must consist of partners from at least three different countries (at least two of which must be EU member states or Horizon Europe Associated Countries) that declare their participation in the CETPartnership call modules to be applied for. Each partner will be supported by the funding agency of their respective country

Proposals from following areas will be accepted:

• 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 (ROA &IOA) 
• Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) 
• Hydrogen and renewable fuels 
• Heating and cooling technologies 
• Integrated regional energy systems 
• Integrated industrial energy systems
