Industrial Decarbonization grants — page 4
538 listings tracked right now · page 4 of 12
Industrial decarbonization is where the largest single climate cheques get written. The EU Innovation Fund (€40bn+ through 2030), US DOE Industrial Demonstrations Program ($6.3bn IIJA-funded), UK Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF), and the EU Just Transition Fund all target heavy industry, primarily steel, cement, chemicals, refining, and glass. Cheques are large (€20M–€500M typical for a Innovation Fund award) and competitive. Listed below are the open industrial decarbonization grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
Industrial grants are capital-heavy and correspondingly slow. The recurring large pots are the EU Innovation Fund, the US Industrial Demonstrations Program, and the UK Industrial Energy Transformation Fund, all of which expect a named site, a credible counterfactual for emissions saved, and matched investment already committed. Smaller circular-economy and waste calls come through EU LIFE, national environment agencies and local authorities, where the eligibility is broader and the cheques are far smaller.
This page lists open industrial decarbonization grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 538 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 industrial decarbonization work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
The funders publishing industrial decarbonization grants here include Redalpine Ventures, 1.5° Ventures, Cottonwood Tech Fund, 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, NORTH-AMERICA, ASIA, SE-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.
