DetailCarbon Gap mapping of the Horizon Europe 2025-2027 work programme finds increased CDR focus versus 2023-2024: four direct Direct Air Capture calls (up from one), covering core technology cost/environmental impact reduction and CO2 utilisation pathways including advanced biofuels, synthetic products and CO2-to-food; explicit direct calls on engineered marine CDR such as Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement
Monetary noteAnalysis identifies 25 CDR-relevant calls with an indicative budget of €389 million within the €7.3 billion Horizon Europe 2025-2027 funding pot: 14 indirect calls worth €204.5 million and 11 direct calls worth €184.5 million. Direct CDR project funding rose from approximately 0.9% of the 2023-2024 total budget to 2.4% in 2025-2027; total direct and indirect CDR funding rose from 2.6% to 5%. Carbo
