Stakeholder Consultation workshop on new Innovation Fund auction

16.4.2025 | Brusel - Albert Borschette Conference Centre

We are glad to invite you to the first stakeholder consultation workshop on the design of a new auction for industrial process heat decarbonisation under the Innovation Fund. As announced in the Clean Industrial Deal communication, this new auction is scheduled for 2025.

The workshop will take place on  16 April 2025 from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm in Brussels and via Webex (hybrid format).

The proposed new auction will support projects across various economic sectors that decarbonize industrial process heat through innovative technologies such as heat pumps, electric boilers, furnaces, induction, resistance or plasma heating and much more. The budget of up to EUR 1 billion will be allocated through fixed-premium auctions. During the Workshop, first ideas for the auction scope and design will be presented and discussed with stakeholders.

A discussion paper will be circulated before the event to help structure the conversation on the day. We are looking forward to engage with you to ensure relevance and fit of the instrument’s design for industry.

You can register HERE. Registration for in-person participation will close when the room is full, while registration for online participation will be open until April 15.
