Technology Domain:

  • Low-carbon Fuels
  • Low-Carbon Gases
  • CO₂ Removal
  • Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing

Catalyst Areas

  • Homogenous/Heterogenous Metal-Based Catalysts
  • Catalyst-Preparation Methods
  • Catalyst-Reactor Technologies
  • New Value Chains Enabled by Catalysts

Applicants should be at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 3-8 that demonstrate both technical novelty and offer a credible pathway to scale and commercialisation within three to five years.

Applications close on March 10!
