European Green Deal Call: Commission funds 72 projects with €1 billion 
to boost the EU’s green recovery
The European Commission has selected 72 research and innovation projects 
for funding under the European Green Deal Call. These projects are to 
contribute to the EU’s response to the climate crisis and help protect 
Europe’s unique ecosystems and biodiversity.

The 72 proposals selected involve almost 1800 participants from the 
research community, the public and private sectors, and civil society 
organisations. Grants are expected to be signed by September 2021, 
following the verification and grant agreement preparation stage.

Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, 
Education and Youth said:

	The European Green Deal call managed to mobilise the research 
community, the private sector and other actors that are active in the 
areas of the European Green Deal. The research teams selected for 
funding possess the European excellence we need to find breakthrough 
solutions that can turn green challenges into innovation opportunities.

New, all-electric car ferry could replace polluting diesel ferries

The diesel ferries used to transport people and vehicles from point A to 
point B produce a lot of air pollution. But a new all-electric, 
pollution-free car ferry designed by the EU-funded E-ferry project has 
proven capable of effectively replacing these diesel models. As a 
result, passengers across Europe could soon be commuting via 
sustainable, quiet, and smog-free electric ferries.

Car parts, ski boots and boxes: How broken or used plastic is being 
given new life

Since the early 1950s, humans have produced more than 8.3 billion tonnes 
of plastic – the weight of around a billion elephants. About 60% of that 
plastic has ended up in a landfill or in the natural environment, 
according to the UN Environment Programme, but that pattern may start to 
change as repair and recycling technology gathers pace.
