Beatriz Yordi, Head of Unit
CIP Eco-Innovation Call 2011: Market Replication Projects
Closing the gap between research and markets
2
EACI
CIP: Competitiveness and Innovation Programme
EIP: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme
3
Part of the CIP programme in EIP pillar
New services: greening businesses New processes: cleaner production New materials New products
What do we do?Eco-innovation – the market replication definition
« All forms of innovation reducing environmental impacts and/or optimising the use of resources »
Good for business, good for the environment
4
Support innovative ideas which can be turned into ‘marketable’ green products and services
These need incentives to penetrate the market.
Potential for replication and wider application must be demonstrated
Budget ~ €200 million (2008-2013)
Eco-innovation market replication projects
5
23 million SMEs in the EU
The backbone of the economy
99% of all enterprises
1/3 world market shares
Yet causing 60-70% of theEU’s industrial pollution
Main target group: SMEs
6
How does it work?Key design elements
Risk sharing for green ideas (50%)
Market orientation
Bridging the gap between RTD and commercialisation
Direct funding (no intermediaries)
A kind of public business angels
Good for business, good for the environment
7
Key design elements:
Life Cycle Thinking
Flexible - no partnerships required but EU added value important
Leverage factor and replication crucial
Approximate project size: 1,4 m € total costs
Good for business, good for the environment
How does it work?Key design elements
8
Materials recycling
Sustainable building products
Food and drink
Water → NEW!
Greening businesses/ smart purchasing
→ 36M€ for ~45-50 projects
Five priorities
Compared to the 2010 call: resource efficiency transversal priority, new water priority and small fine tuning on the rest
9
Materials recycling
Improve quality of recycled material, better waste sorting and treatment methods
Innovative products using recycled material or facilitating material recycling
Business innovations to strengthen the competitiveness of recycling industries, such as new market structures for recycling products, processes and services
10
Sustainable building products
Construction products and related processes (construction, maintenance, repair, retrofitting or demolition of buildings) that reduce consumption of resources, embodied carbon and production of by-product wastes.
More environmentally friendly construction materials and innovative manufacturing processes.
NEW! → Projects on the addition of various types of fly and bottom ashes in concrete and mortar are not covered under this Call
11
Food and Drink Sector
Cleaner and innovative products, including packaging methods and materials aiming at higher resources efficiency, reduction of waste and greenhouse gas emissions, or/and increasing recycling and recovery
New or improved production processes with high water efficiency and improved water quality
Innovative cleaner products, processes and services aiming at reducing the environmental impact of consumption of food and drinks
12
Water
Water efficient processes, products and technologies (reduce water consumption by at least 30%)
Water-free processes. Water and wastewater treatment: solutions that offer greater
efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Smart distribution systems aiming at the saving of water,
chemicals, energy and materials: innovative systems for measuring and adjusting chemical dosing, flow and pumping rates; leakage detection and repair, novel pipe materials etc.
13
Greening businesses and smart purchasing
Green products and services Substitution of materials by others leading to a reduced
environmental impact Clean production processes Re-manufacturing mechanisms and innovative repairing
services
14
Performance indicators
Improved environmental performance
Better use of resources
Economic Performance / Market Replication

Eco-I versus FP 7 Research
Post research Adaptation for market
uptake Industrialisation First commercial deployment Market demonstration
Basic research Applied research Prototyping/first practical
use of technology Technology demonstration Knowledge gathering
18
19
Eco-I versus IEE First application of solution and
market uptake Integrated approach covering
various environmental aspects (resource efficiency including water, energy and raw materials…)
Life-cycle approach Explicit SME and private sector
focus Market uptake important
Promotion & dissemination of well-proven intelligent energy solutions
Energy focus: energy efficiency & renewable energy sources, including transport
Stimulates action through better market conditions & admin. procedures, training, awareness raising, policy analysis etc
No investment project, no RTD Impact and contribution to 2020 EU
energy targets important
19
20
Eco-I versus LIFE +
Priority on private sector, businesses
CIP umbrella Market competitiveness and
market uptake Replication is crucial Integrated environmental
impacts
Mainly public sector Policy development and
Implementation of legislation Dissemination, awareness
raising, capacity building Land-use and urban planning Environmental solutions but
market uptake is not vital
