Summary
In an effort to help bring breakthrough technologies to the market, the EU has chosen to invest €1.8 billion in 16 large-scale innovative clean-tech projects under the third round of awards under the Innovation Fund
Sectors like hydrogen, renewable energy, carbon capture and storage infrastructure, and manufacturing are key components of energy storage and renewables, and are therefore becoming more and more valuable. With this in mind the EU is continuing to increase its funding to a select few clean-tech projects under the Innovation Fund.
The selected projects are located in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
In Norway, one project will build and operate the world’s first commercial-scale drop-in biofuel production facility, which will convert forestry waste into advanced second-generation biofuels and biochar. A project in Sweden will build a large-scale facility for the production of synthetic sustainable aviation fuel, using CO₂ captured at a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant.
