XGas completes Stage 2 submission to EU Horizon program; collaboration and support highlighted

XGas has submitted its Stage 2 proposal to the EU’s Horizon funding program, marking an important milestone in the company’s ongoing efforts to advance its methane-pyrolysis technology. The submission represents the culmination of several months of coordinated work and preparation.

Collaboration with Iconiq Innovation

Proposal development

XGas credits the successful delivery of the proposal to strong collaboration with Leon Lever and the team at Iconiq Innovation. Their guidance and project management have played a central role in shaping and finalizing the application.

Strategic support

The company also acknowledges the valuable support received from Equinor and Innovation Norway throughout the process. This backing has been instrumental in strengthening XGas’s positioning and ensuring that the proposal meets the expectations of the Horizon program.

Next steps

With the submission now complete, XGas awaits evaluation from the Horizon committee while continuing its technology development activities. The company notes that qualification for the program would provide significant momentum as it moves toward scaling and commercialization.
