Are you looking to finance industrial assets (infrastructure, processes, factories) focused on the deployment of low-carbon technologies? Can your assets reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but are they located in a place that is difficult to decarbonize?
We are pleased to share some information that we believe is important for your financing.
Today, the European Innovation Fund is one of the key sources of financing for your project. This fund, managed by the European Commission, is financed by revenues from the Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).
The fund selects industrial project proposals based on quantified evidence of their climate commitments and their potential for replication in Europe.
The Innovation Fund is an important fund because it acts as a “public risk taker.” It provides access to substantial financing that was previously unavailable to individual companies.
The range of companies eligible to apply is broad.
You can participate as long as you are based in a country within the European Union or in an EEA country participating in the EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading System) and can demonstrate a significant reduction in your emissions over ten years with figures.
Here is the list of eligible sectors:

The cycle is quite long, lasting between 12 and 18 months.
