Video #1: Eligibility Criteria for Accessing the Innovation Fund

We’re excited to announce that our first video tutorial is online and will provide a comprehensive overview of the eligibility criteria for accessing the Innovation Fund

In this video, we explore the Innovation Fund, one of Europe’s largest funding programs dedicated to innovative low-carbon technologies.

If you’re considering applying to the European ETS Innovation Fund (IF), this guide will help you to better understand the key requirements and how to position your project for success.

As you know, the European ETS Innovation Fund provides grants to support investments for the decarbonization of European industry. However, the Innovation Fund isn’t for everyone.

As a rule of thumb, companies that participate in the EU ETS can also apply for Innovation Fund grants. These are mainly carbon-intensive industries, such as chemical companies, steel and cement producers, but also include others like power plant operators. Recently, the maritime sector, aviation, road transport, and buildings have been added to the list, as they are part of the so-called ETS2. Renewable energy generation and storage, as well as CO2 capture, usage, and storage applications, are also eligible. Beside that, manufacturers that provide the technology needed for energy generation and storage can also participate.
