Innovation Fund ICM Projects Database

All data is sourced exclusively from publicly available official sources, including:

• The European Commission and CINEA Innovation Fund project pages and award decisions
• Official websites of projects.
• Press releases and announcements from companies.
• Information and intelligence from companies shared directly by project developers, company representatives, and industry experts involved in specific projects, where available.

Project data is compiled and maintained in a structured system by Carbon Management Europe. Each field is individually researched and verified against official sources. Where figures differ between sources, the most recent figure is used.

Carbon Management Europe updates the data periodically. The last update date appears in the top-right corner of the statistics bar. Updates are triggered manually when significant changes in project status or data are identified.

A project may not appear on the map if its geographic coordinates are not yet confirmed in the database. These projects still appear in the Project List panel. If you believe a project is missing entirely, please contact Salman Muhammad at salman.muhammad@cmeurope.org.

Not Disclosed means the figure is not publicly available from official sources. It does not mean the investment is zero or that the project is not viable. Many early-stage projects have not yet disclosed their full investment figures.

Some projects are categorised as both CCS and CCU because they involve both carbon capture and utilisation components. These projects appear when either CCS or CCU is selected.

Every project is assigned one of the status labels given below, reflecting its current stage of development based on publicly available information or any shared intelligence at the time of the last data update.

• Early development: Grant agreement signed, project in early-award or front-end loading phase. Includes manufacturing and scale-up at early implementation.
• Engineering and design: Active pre-Front-End Engineering Design (pre-FEED) engineering underway, technology selected and preliminary engineering ongoing. The project has not entered the FEED stage.
• FEED & permitting: Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) is formally underway, and/or permitting and environmental assessment are proceeding; Final Investment Decision (FID) has not been taken yet.
• pre-FID/advanced development: FEED completed; progressing towards FID with financing, procurement, and pre-construction activities likely ongoing.
• Under construction: FID taken. Facility under construction or in commissioning phase. Capital expenditure is actively being deployed on site.
• Operational: The facility is in operation under normal commercial conditions.
• On hold/Paused: Progress is currently paused (e.g. awaiting a revised business case, financing, or site decision), but the Innovation Fund grant has not been terminated.
• Terminated: The Innovation Fund grant for this project was terminated, per the European Commission’s own project database. The underlying industrial project may continue under other funding.

• CO2  metrics are based on figures reported by projects at the time of grant applications or the most recent values disclosed by the project coordinator. Actual operational performance may differ.
• Investment figures marked “Not Disclosed” reflect the absence of public information and should not be interpreted as an indication of project size or viability.
• Project status represents our best assessment based on publicly available information at the time of the last update. Status may change between update cycles.
• Geographic coordinates are assigned to the best available location of the project site. For offshore or hub projects, the nearest onshore reference point may be used.

This tool is developed and maintained by Carbon Management Europe. If you identify an error in the data or wish to suggest an update, please provide the project name and all relevant information to Salman Muhammad. All corrections are reviewed and incorporated in the next scheduled data update.
