Apply for the CACTUS accompanying programme, proposing projects for the decarbonisation of industry.
What is the CACTUS accompanying program?
The CACTUS accompanying programme, the Carbon Acceleration Consortium and the Industrial Transfer, winner of the France 2030 call for projects, aims to support a coherent set of technologies for massive decarbonisation of industry: improving process energy efficiency, decarbonisation of the energy mix of industrialists in particular in terms of heat, the deployment of carbon-free processes and carbon capture and storage or recovery.
Its objective is to facilitate the development of innovations from academic laboratories and the process that enables them to achieve the maturity necessary for their transfer to the socio-economic world through the stages of pre-maturation and maturation. In terms of decarbonisation of industry, the projects identified are:
- energy efficiency,
- process decarbonation,
- process electrification,
- capture, transport, storage and recovery of CO2.
Who can apply?
A researcher who meets the following conditions:
- holding a position as a researcher or teacher-researcher,
- be affiliated to a research unit under the following eligible institutions: Alienor Transfer – AxLR – CNRS – Conectus – C-Valo – CY Cergy Paris University – ERGANEO – IFPEN – Linksium – Ouest Valorisation – PSL Université Paris – PULSALYS – SATT Nord – SATT Sud-Est – SAYENS – Toulouse Tech Transfer – Université Grenoble Alpes – Université Paris Cité.
What funding can be obtained?
Funding from the programme is allocated according to the maturity and progress of the project in terms of its potential for valorisation and transfer.
It can reach:
- 80 000 € in prematuration
- 400 000 € maturing*.
It requires a share of co-financing from the institution or SATT partner.
