The CETP programme is a transformative Research, Technological Development and Innovation (RTDI) program, designed to accelerate clean energy transition through annual funding calls.

It’s an international collaboration involving 30 countries and over 50 funding agencies, supported through the Horizon Europe R&I programme.

Scotland’s role in the CETPartnership

We’re supporting research and innovation in all the CETP modules:

  • Innovative solutions for system flexibility: renewables production, storage and system integration
  • Direct current technologies for networks
  • Advanced renewable energy technologies for power production
  • Carbon capture, utilisation and storage
  • Hydrogen and renewable fuels
  • Heating and cooling technologies
  • Geothermal energy technologies
  • Integrated regional energy systems
  • Integrated industrial energy systems
  • Clean energy integration in the built environment

We'll consider applications under all modules. However, as part of our eligibility process, projects will be expected to demonstrate relevance to the Scottish Government's energy strategies and should contribute to economic development in Scotland.
