The Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programmes for the demonstration and commercialisation of innovative low-carbon technologies. The Innovation Fund aims to bring industrial solutions to decarbonise Europe to the market and it is funded with revenues from the auctioning of allowances from the EU Emissions Trading System.
The Innovation Fund has already held two large-scale calls, awarding €1.1 billion and €1.8 billion in grants to 7 and 17 projects respectively (see the Innovation Fund Project Portfolio Dashboard) and launched a third one with a budget of €3 billion at the end of 2022. The European Commission has also held two calls for small-scale projects with total capital costs below €7.5 million, awarding around €160 million to 46 projects. A third call was launched in March 2023 with a budget of €100 million – applications are welcome until 19 September 2023.
