The European Union’s (EU) Green Deal is the EU’s main new growth strategy to transition the EU economy to a sustainable economic model, in order to face the climate change and environmental degradation that are an existential threat to Europe and the world. The overarching objective of the Green Deal is for the EU to become the first climate neutral continent by 2050, resulting in a cleaner environment, more affordable energy, smarter transport, a resource-efficient and competitive economy, new jobs and an overall better quality of life. To achieve the goals set by the European Green Deal, the Commission has pledged to mobilise at least €1 trillion in sustainable investments over the next decade. A lot of opportunities to do scientific research on Green Deal topics are given by EU programmes such as Horizon Europe, MSCA, etc. The urgency and the scale of challenges addressed by the Green Deal require the mobilisation and advancement of world-class scientific capacities and resources such as those offered by European Research Infrastructures.

CERIC-ERIC (Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium) actively supports the EU Green Deal by focusing on the development of dedicated services in the field of Energy. Through its activities and projects, CERIC aims to contribute to the EU climate goals, addressed through the Energy and climate plans, to the EU green Deal, and potentially also to the Mission on 100 carbon neutral cities. CERIC is running two pilot actions in the fields of batteries and fuel cells, aimed at making its partner facilities’ more suitable and better equipped for energy research, without neglecting the existing know how and user community in other areas of renewable energy research such as solar.
