Breakthrough Energy Emerging Climate Technology Projects

At COP26 in Glasgow, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Bill Gates, the Founder of Breakthrough Energy, together with European Investment Bank President, Werner Hoyer, formalised a partnership to mobilise public and private funding in emerging climate technology projects located in the European Union. This followed the initial partnership announcement that was made in June 2021 at the Mission Innovation Ministerial Conference. The EU-Catalyst Partnership expects to mobilise ¤820 million ($1 billion) in climate investment between 2022 and 2027 targeted toward the European Green Deal and the EU's 2030 climate target.
To operationalise this collaboration, Breakthrough Energy Catalyst has launched this RFP to identify and select emerging climate technology projects based in the European Union for project-level financing. Projects selected by Catalyst from this RFP will be considered by the European Commission and European Investment Bank to receive blended financing under the InvestEU Programme.
Catalyst invites responses from projects located in the European Union across the following four technology sectors:
- Clean hydrogen
- Direct air capture
- Sustainable aviation fuel
- Long duration energy storage
