Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

  • To support the energy transition in the marine fishing sector by tackling technology and knowledge gaps and promoting low carbon and energy efficient solutions
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of using alternative propulsion technology(ies) and / or other solutions, including digital, to improve the energy performance of a marine fishing vessel, and to fill gaps in information and knowledge on the potential for, and compatibility of, technologies for the fishing sector. Where possible, the action should also support the reduction of underwater noise that affects species, such as marine mammals
  • To finance a demonstrator fishing vessel of 12 metres or more in length, which will be used to carry out testing of different alternative propulsion, energy performance and emissions reduction technologies, including digital

Priorities

  • To explore the compatibility of innovative and mature technologies and solutions to reduce energy consumption and emissions from fishing vessels, in their range of activities
  • To demonstrate the viability of low carbon and energy efficient technologies and their impact on the operation and environmental performance (including noise pollution) of fishing vessels
  • To fill knowledge gaps on the technological, digital, social, legal, regulatory and policy barriers to the energy transition of fisheries, as well as on the safety aspects, and increasing fishers’ awareness and interest

Eligibility

  • Be a legal person
  • Be a public or private entity
  • Be established in a EU Member State
  • A consortium composed of at least 2 entities, established in at least 2 different EU Member States (including at least one partner from the fishery sector)  must be constituted

Additional information

  • Initial duration of the action: between 24 and 36 months
  • Contact: cinea-emfaf-calls@ec.europa.eu
Financement
  • Total budget of the call: 2.2 million euro
  • Amount of the grant: 2.2 million euro
  • Funding rate: up to 80% of the total eligible costs
