Smart Cities and Communities - SCC1
• 7th year of lighthouse projects
• €55 million available
• 46 Lighthouse cities and 70 Fellow cities
• so far > €360 million co-funds
#H2020Energy

#H2020Energy
Lighthouse cities and fellow cities
• Lighthouse Cities inspiring examples
• Scaling up / replication
• Innovative solutions
• First-mover-risk
• Fellow Cities
• Actively participate replication
• Close collaboration
#H2020Energy
Lighthouse projects
• 2 lighthouse cities and ≥ 5 fellow
• Industry, SMEs, Research
• By the deadline, all lighthouse cities must have a validated:
• Actively participate replication Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP), or
• Sustainable Energy (and Climate) Action Plans (SECAP), or
• a similar, at least equally ambitious, plan
• A city can be funded as a lighthouse city only once under Horizon 2020
#H2020Energy
Scope
• Deploy and test integrated innovative solutions for Positive Energy Blocks/Districts in the Lighthouse Cities
• Interaction and integration between the buildings, the users and the larger energy system
• Implications of increased electro-mobility, its impact on the energy system and its integration in planning.
• Carry out extensive performance monitoring (ideally for more than 2 years)
#H2020Energy
Definition Positive Energy Blocks/Districts
• Actively manage their energy consumption and energy flows
• Annual positive energy balance
• Optimal use of elements
• Integral part of the district/city energy system
• Scalable
#H2020Energy
Assessing Positive Energy Blocks/Districts
• Building Energy Specification Table – BEST 2018
energy need,
RES produced locally and
energy flows through test site boundaries
• Overview of proposed measures
• Assess the ambition / facilitate comparison

European Commission – DG ENER
#H2020Energy
Challenge
COP21EU Energy and Climate goals
Role of airports
Energy transition in
airports
Energy system integration
including lowcarbon fuels
Scope:
Proposals will demonstrate novel concepts and effective solutions to stimulate the take-up of biokerosene and other relevant alternative fuels by aviation.
#H2020Energy
Airports:
Each proposal will contain one Lighthouse Airport where the demonstration actions will be implemented. This Lighthouse Airport will also collaborate closely with two Fellow Airports.
#H2020Energy
Lighthouse Airports and Fellow Airports
• Fellow Cities
• Actively participate replication
• Close collaboration
#H2020Energy
• Lighthouse Airports inspiring examples
• Scaling up / replication
• Innovative solutions
• First-mover-risk
#H2020Energy
Two areas:
A) Smart use in airports and aircraft of biofuels and other relevant alternative fuels
The aim is to integrate sustainable bio-kerosene and other relevant alternative fuels in the fuelling infrastructure and associated fuel-handling logistics of the airport, including blending operations resulting in blends compliant with the ASTM standards.
#H2020Energy
B) Smart Energy in Airports:
Projects will demonstrate novel concepts and solutions aimed at improving the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the operations of the airports.
#H2020Energy
Innovative elements of the projects needed to:
• Handle, logistics, blending, fuelling of low carbon fuels, all ground operations
• Foster innovative energy systems integration
• Complement the wider energy system to decrease GHG emissions
• Collaboration
• Dissemination
Eligible costs
#H2020Energy
Non-eligible costs
Costs of commercial technologies are not eligible, for example:
• Buildings: purchase, construction, retrofitting and maintenance
• Airport-level ICT platforms: purchase, development and maintenance
• Standard, commercially-available RES: purchase, development and maintenance
The procurement of low carbon fuels is not eligible
