TOWARDS A MORE
ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND
SUSTAINABLE PATH
The RF2.0 partners envision a future where accelerators are designed, operated, and supplied with 100% renewable energy, ensuring secure and stable performance at any time. This approach aims to make operations nearly independent of the public power grid while significantly reducing environmental impact.
Partners: 6 Accelerator Research Facilities,
4 High-tech SMEs
4 demonstrator
projects
Project duration:
1/2024-12/2026
Budget:
5,6 Mio €

Research facility 2.0
RF2.0 is a Horizon Europe funded project that aims to design, develop and validate novel solutions for components and systems, that allow to transform particle accelerators in more sustainable and energy efficient research infrastructures.
The achieved innovations will also benefit medical centres, data centres, industrial plants, and High-tech companies that have very similar characteristics and face the same challenges.
