Öffnet am 3. Dezember 2026
Das EU-Programm Horizon Europe plant 2 Förderungen mit 9,4 Mio. € pro Projekt bei einem Gesamtbudget von 18,8 Mio. €. Die Einreichungsfrist endet am 31. März 2027 (EU-Ausschreibungen enden meist um 17:00 Uhr Brüsseler Zeit). Organisationen aus EU-Mitgliedstaaten und assoziierten Ländern wie der Türkei können in der Regel teilnehmen; maßgeblich sind die Bedingungen des Topics.

Die offiziellen Beschreibungen sind in der Sprache des Fördergebers (meist Englisch); Zusammenfassung und Eckdaten auf dieser Seite sind auf Deutsch.
Proposals are expected to contribute to all following points:
• Improving cost and recovery efficiency of existing scaled recycling technologies
• Demonstrated technological solutions capable of efficiently recycling diverse feedstocks, including production scrap, and mixed lithium-ion battery chemistries
• Improved European competitiveness by reducing EU dependence on imported raw materials through improved recycling processes
• Demonstrable compliance with the targets and requirements set by the EU Batteries Regulation, including recycling efficiency and material recovery rates.
Proposals under this topic are expected to specifically address innovation actions that enhance the adaptability, flexibility, and operational efficiency of existing battery recycling processes.
Projects are expected to explicitly target improvements for processing mixed input streams, particularly production scrap and various lithium-ion battery chemistries
Proposals are expected to clearly demonstrate technical innovations in black mass processing, resulting in the efficient recovery of high-purity battery-grade materials suitable for reintroduction into the European battery manufacturing value chain.
Proposals are expected to address all of the following points:
• Development and demonstration of recycling technologies capable of handling variable composition feedstocks, potentially within the same batch.
• Optimization of hydrometallurgical and/or pyrometallurgical processes for enhanced recovery rates of critical raw metals, aiming to at least achieve recovery efficiencies requirements set by the EU Batteries Regulation
• Detailed techno-economic assessments (TEA) and comprehensive life-cycle assessments (LCA), demonstrating significant improvements in energy efficiency, CO2 and ecological footprint reduction, and economic viability.
Where required, proposals should include robust and digitalised sorting technologies and other advanced pre-treatment technologies.
The Commission initiative for Safe and Sustainable by Design [1] (SSbD) sets a framework for assessing the safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials which should be considered as a reference for project proposals.
Whenever the expected exploitation of project results entails developing, creating, manufacturing and marketing a product or process, or in creating and providing a service, the plan for the exploitation and dissemination of results must include a strategy for such exploitation. The exploitation plans are expected to include preliminary plans for scalability, commercialisation, and deployment (feasibility study, business plan) indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used (in particular the Innovation Fund).
Proposals could consider the involvement of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) [2] whose contribution could consist of providing added value regarding various aspects of battery circularity and sustainability. For further information on the JRC’s possible contribution to the projects, please, search for additional publicly available information on the JRC’s website [3] (EU Science Hub) on the NCP portal, or request specific information from the JRC (JRC-NCP-Network@ec.europa.eu)
JRC will assure that all the other applicants receive the same information on the JRC’s possible contribution to the project (e.g., via the topic-specific FAQs under the Funding and Tenders Portal).
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership on Batteries (Batt4EU). As such, projects resulting from this topic will be expected to…
