Public consultation on the Innovation Fund

The Innovation Fund was established by the Emissions Trading System (ETS) Directive to support innovation in low or zero-carbon products, processes and technologies in the sectors covered by the Directive. The Fund obtains its resources from ETS allowance revenues.

This initiative will evaluate the operations of the Innovation Fund by 2025, as required by Article 24(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/856.

The Commission would like to hear your views.

This call for evidence is open for feedback. Your input will be taken into account as we further develop and fine-tune this initiative. Feedback received will be published on this site and therefore must adhere to the feedback rules.

The Commission uses Call for evidence to define the scope of:

• a politically sensitive and/or important new law or policy
• an evaluation of an existing law or policy
• a fitness check of a bundle of related existing laws and/or policies
