Description
Funded under the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2021-2022 (Cluster 5- Climate, Energy and Mobility), the ‘Study on circular approaches for a sustainable and affordable clean energy transition’ aims to strengthen the European Commission’s knowledge-based approach in the early and continuous assessment of innovative clean energy technologies in the context of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.
The objective of the study was to develop a methodology to assess the impacts of clean energy technologies on the following dimensions: sustainability (covering environmental, social, and economic aspects), circularity, and EU resilience and technological autonomy. This assessment methodology is complemented by technology-specific guidelines, providing actionable instructions for specific technology-related assessment.
For a general overview of the study, methodology and tasks, please refer to the Final Report of the study.
