The European Commission has launched a new call for proposals under its Innovation Fund programme with a €2.4 billion budget aimed at expediting the development of low-carbon technologies. The initiative targets enhancing European competitiveness and industrial capacity in energy-intensive sectors, renewable energy, energy storage, and CCUS (carbon capture, use, and storage). This funding opportunity aligns with the EU's strategy to scale up innovative net-zero technologies, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the bloc's energy transition and decarbonisation goals. The programme offers funding for projects of different scales, clean technology manufacturing, and pilot projects to validate deep decarbonisation solutions. Five European projects are collaborating to help companies apply for Innovation Fund support, focusing on criteria like innovation, scalability, and cost efficiency. The projects are leveraging their expertise to guide applicants through the complex application process. The Innovation Fund aims to drive forward Europe's net-zero targets with a significant allocation towards battery technology. The fund is expected to play a crucial role in advancing decarbonisation efforts across various sectors. With clear strategies and targeted guidance, the fund seeks to support the transition towards renewable energy projects and clean technology manufacturing. By disbursing €3 billion over the next three years and emphasizing detailed award criteria, the Innovation Fund aims to solidify Europe's position as a global leader in clean technology.
