• The European Project SUNRISE, “Solar energy for a circular economy”, was selected as one of the six Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) within the Horizon 2020 programme. Funded with €1M, for one year (started in March 2019), setting the basis for a European large scale research project.

• The SUNRISE Vision is a radical and ambitious scientific and technological approach for solar energy conversion and storage to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil-based, energy-intensive production of fuels and base chemicals. This is fully aligned with the recently released European Commission long-term strategy for a climate neutral Europe by 2050.

• SUNRISE joins together stakeholders from academia, industry, policy and society, including NGOs and global players in the energy, chemicals and automotive sectors, to develop the S&T roadmap of a large research initiative in the Energy, Environment and Climate Change area.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation Programme under the grant agreement No 816336.
