Is the CEF2-Transport catch-all for all hydrogen Studies/Works?  \nA: This call is for PCIs in the 4th list of PCIs, and there are no hydrogen-related PCIs on that list. For the time being, there are opportunities for funding of hydrogen-related projects under CEF-Transport and the Innovation Fund.  \nQ: How do projects qualify to become a PCI?  \nA: You can find more information about the PCI selection process here:  \n[https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/infrastructure/projects-common-interest_en?redir=1](https://ec.europa.eu/energy/topics/infrastructure/projects-common-interest_en?redir=1)  \n[Q: Do actions supporting cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy need to contribute to](Q: Do actions supporting cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy need to contribute to)[ ](Q: Do actions supporting cross-border projects in the field of renewable energy need to contribute to)[PCIs or can they potentially be set up outside the PCI scope?](PCIs or can they potentially be set up outside the PCI scope?)  \nA: Cross-border renewable projects are different from PCIs; a call for funding for preparatory studies to support cross-border renewable projects is envisaged to be opened on 22/09/2021 . There will be an Info Day on the CEF 2 Energy-cross-border renewable energy projects on 28/09/2021.  \nQ: Will the 5th PCI list be published at the end of October as was previously communicated-or has this timeline been changed as well?  \nA: As mentioned in the DG ENER presentation, the 5th PCI list is expected to be adopted by the end of 2021 with expected publication and entry into force in early 2022.  \nQ: Is climate proofing part of this call for proposals also or it will be only for the next call?  \nA: Climate proofing is already required in the current call for proposals. It will also be part of subsequent calls as mentioned in the multiannual Work Programme. See slide 15 in the DG ENER presentation.  \nQ: How should newly built and flexible gas transmission pipelines adapt to new realities and be eligible for the next PCI list: minimum blending percentage with hydrogen or other criteria?  \nA: The current call concerns the 4th PCI list. As mentioned in the DG ENER presentation , the 5th PCI list is expected to be adopted by end of 2021 with expected entry into force in early 2022. However, the 5th PCI list will still be based on the current TEN-E Regulation, which does not cover hydrogen assets.  \nQ: How many calls for proposals are expected to be launched in 2022?  \nA: One call is tentatively planned for 2022, according to the CEF-Energy Work Programme 2021-2023.  \n2) Proposal  \nQ: Usually the deadline is 2-3 months after the call has been opened, why has 19 October been chosen this time?  \nA: For CEF Energy, 6 weeks is the minimum call duration and has been in the past a typical time for the call to be open.  \nQ: Is it possible to submit a single application for two PCIs, if these projects are technically correlated?  \nA: Yes, this is possible if the proposed project contrib","cbCaieeh2nCTlaW4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieeh2nCTlaW4","pdf",722633,7,"English","# Work Programme, Projects of Common Interest\n## Proposal\n## Proposal annexes\n## Other","[{\"question\":\"Does the CEF2-Energy 4th PCI list include hydrogen-related actions?\",\"answer\":\"No. The 4th PCI list contains no hydrogen-related PCIs, although hydrogen-related funding opportunities may exist under CEF-Transport and the Innovation Fund.\"},{\"question\":\"How can a project qualify to become a PCI?\",\"answer\":\"The PCI selection process follows the information provided by the relevant PCI selection guidance.
