Hydrogen and e-Fuels grants — page 2

76 listings tracked right now · page 2 of 2

Hydrogen funding is dominated by sovereign deployment programmes, the EU Innovation Fund, the EU Hydrogen Bank, the US DOE Hydrogen Hubs, UK Hydrogen Allocation Rounds (HAR), and a thickening pipeline of national strategies in Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Korea. The capital required for first-of-a-kind electrolyser projects sits firmly in the public-money tier, with corporate offtake (ammonia, steel, shipping) starting to anchor commercial scale-up. Listed below are the open hydrogen and e-fuels grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Energy grants divide into two families that rarely share a form. Deployment pots such as the EU Innovation Fund, the US Department of Energy and the UK Net Zero Innovation Portfolio back kit that already works, usually at 30 to 50 per cent intervention rates against matched private capital. Earlier research calls, Horizon Europe and ARPA-E and Innovate UK among them, fund lower technology readiness at far smaller cheques. Applying to the wrong family is the most common reason a strong project scores badly.

This page lists open hydrogen and e-fuels grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 76 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 hydrogen and e-fuels work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

The funders publishing hydrogen and e-fuels grants here include BP Ventures, Zero Carbon Capital, NGIF Capital, 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, EUROPE, EEA, AFRICA, ASIA. 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.
