Partnerships

Zero-emission road transport (2ZERO)

Partnership website: https://www.2zeroemission.eu/

The 2ZERO partnership aims to accelerate the development of zero emission transport in Europe. Its activities are organised around four strongly interconnected pillars:

  • Vehicle technologies and vehicle propulsion solutions for BEV and FCEV
  • The integration of BEV into the energy system and related charging infrastructure
  • Innovative concepts, solutions and services for the zero tailpipe emission mobility of people and goods
  • LCA and circular economy approaches for sustainable and innovative road mobility solutions

the full overview of Research & innovation activities for 2021 to 2027 can be found in the 2Zero Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda

The European Green Vehicle initiative association (EGVIA) is the main driver behind this partnership and groups 124 members from the world of business, research and innovation.

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
