Besides Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe there are many other relevant funding programmes managed by several agencies and directorates of the European Commission.
The Innovation Fund was set up with the revenues of the emission trading system (ETS). The purpose is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by private companies in harder to abate sectors. It aims at 4 technologies: renewable energy sources and storage, carbon capture and storage, carbon capture and utilization, innovative low carbon solutions.
The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
