The European Commission’s Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programmes for low-carbon energy technologies. On top of the Innovation Fund’s current grants programme, we are developing a new way to raise funds for innovation in the hydrogen sector: competitive bidding (also known as auctioning). In order to develop this scheme, we consulted academics, think tanks and Member States on various aspects of auction design.
The hybrid event on 28 October 2022 attracted more than 120 participants with a wide range of experience on researching, designing and implementing auctions in the energy sector.
