Call: Alternative energy sources and novel propulsion technologies

Programme	Horizon 2020 - Societal Challenges
Type of Fund	Action programme
Description of programme "Horizon 2020 - Societal Challenges "	A challenge-based approach will bring together resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and disciplines, including social sciences and the humanities. This will cover activities from research to market with a new focus on innovation-related activities, such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, and support for public procurement and market uptake. Funding focuses on the following challenges: Health, demographic change and wellbeing; Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the Bioeconomy; Secure, clean and efficient energy; Smart, green and integrated transport; Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens.

Description of programme "Clean Sky 2"	Clean Sky 2 builds on the work of its predecessor Clean Sky but will also drive towards more ambitious objectives. Specifically, Clean Sky 2 aims to contribute to improving the environmental impact of aeronautical technologies, including those relating to small aviation, as well as to developing a strong aeronautical industry and supply chain in Europe. This can be achieved through speeding up the development of cleaner air transport technologies, and in particular the integration, demonstration and validation of technologies capable of: increasing fuel efficiency, thus reducing CO2 emissions by 20 to 30% comparted to 'state-of-the-art' aircraft entering into service as from 2014 reducing aircraft NO_x and noise emissions by 20 to 30% compared to 'state-of-the-art' aircraft entering into service as from 2014
Call	Alternative energy sources and novel propulsion technologies
Description of call "Alternative energy sources and novel propulsion technologies"	Inclusion of alternative energy sources and novel propulsion to future fleets can be an important means to reduce the environmental impact. The CSA will provide an overview of potential future energy sources and the relevant propulsion technologies for them. The CSA will determine which seat classes in the fleet are relevant for which energy source and technology combination. The time frame to be covered will be 2035 to 2050.
