Carbon Capture grants
74 listings tracked right now · page 1 of 2
Capturing CO₂ at scale is one of the most capital-intensive sustainability sectors, and the funding mix reflects that, sovereign-backed first-of-a-kind deployment grants, multilateral debt for industrial retrofits, and corporate offtake commitments for engineered removals. Listed below are the open carbon capture grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
Carbon funding is unusually concentrated in sovereign and philanthropic money, because most of the sector has no natural commercial buyer yet. The large recurring programmes are the US Department of Energy, the EU Innovation Fund and its Carbon Removal Certification work, UK DESNZ, and foundations including the Bezos Earth Fund. Advance purchase commitments from Frontier and Microsoft behave like grants for early deployment, and are worth tracking alongside the calls proper.
This page lists open carbon capture grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 74 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is carbon capture work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
The funders publishing carbon capture grants here include PAMS-SC, DOE-NETL, 50130105, among 2 others. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls.
Geographic coverage on this page spans GLOBAL, ASIA, OCEANIA, MENA, AFRICA. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.
2 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating funder remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
