The 2008 Call for Proposals for Energy (FP7-ENERGY-2008-TREN-1) under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) was published on 29 April 2008. In order to support the preparation of proposals, the Directorate General for Energy and Transport (DG TREN) of the European Commission held an Information Day on 20 June 2008 in Brussels.
The aim of this event was to disseminate information about FP7 and the research areas open in the 2008 Call for Proposals on Energy within the Cooperation Programme, to give details about the main legal and procedural conditions, and to answer any questions.

Research, development and demonstration of technologies to drastically reduce the adverse environmental impact of fossil fuel use aiming at highly efficient and cost effective power and/ or steam generation plants with near zero emissions, based on CO2 capture and storage technologies, in particular underground storage.
Areas and topics in the two partly complementary activities ENERGY.5 and ENERGY.6 are based on previous actions initiated under the 5th and 6th framework programmes and take into account results as well as work under way. Their common aim is to enable the arrival of an integrated technological solution allowing for zero emission power generation from fossil fuels. Priorities have also been determined in accordance with those identified by the work of the Technology Platform for zero emission, with a view to getting to the vision established by the ZEP platform of having integrated solutions for zero emission fossil fuel based power available by 2020. This requires large scale demonstration in place by 2015 at the latest.
Besides this common aim, each activity also includes particular priorities of its own merit which can be seen as parallel, although not unrelated, to the aim of an integrated solution for zero-emission power generation.
The activities under the Framework Programme must also be seen in complementarity with those carried out by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel. Following a Protocol annexed to the Treaty of Nice, the RFCS disposes of own budgetary means outside the Framework Programme, part of which are used to fund coal research activities ranging from coal mining to coal conversion and coal combustion/applications.
