About EU Innovation Fund
The EU Innovation Fund is funded through the auctioning of emissions allowances under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Therefore, the total budget for the Fund is dependent on the fluctuating carbon prices. Currently, the expected total budget for 2020-2030 is €25 billion.

The Innovation Fund manages two calls: Large Scale Projects with a total cost over €7.5 million and Small-Scale Projects with a total cost of less than €7.5M.
The grants cover up to 60% of the capital and operational costs and up to 40% of the grant can be payed based on pre-defined milestones before the project is operational.
In addition, the European Investment Bank will provide project development assistance (PDA).
