Creating energy that’s
sustainable in every sense
We help adopt pioneering new technologies, lowering risk and
complexity. From mobility to construction - from renewable
energy sources to smarter storage - our commercially-attractive
technologies are the product of a trusted ecosystem for
sustainable energy.
We’ve invested in more than 480 energy innovations, and we bring
together more than 500 key players from across the energy value
chain, from 18 different countries, and with indirect access to 150
million energy consumers.

A trusted partner
for our sustainable future
Beyond working with organisations across the
energy value chain, we are also spearheading the
way to a decarbonised Europe by 2050 through
the leadership of three industrial alliances: battery
storage, green hydrogen and solar photovoltaics.
These alliances bring together the knowledge and experience
required to support large industrial projects, which directly
impact the energy trilemma: reducing the cost of energy, limiting
greenhouse emissions and increasing availability and security.

Supported by the EIT


EIT InnoEnergy is co-funded by the EIT, an independent body of
the European Union established in March 2008, with the mission
to increase European sustainable growth and competitiveness by
reinforcing the innovation capacity within the European Union.

A word from our CEO

Latest reports from the United Nations IPCC


(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), show
that we have little time to act upon climate change. At
EIT InnoEnergy we are in a mission in making the energy
transition happen with innovations that make impact.

Our DNA, since our foundation back in 2010, is to


commercialise sustainable innovations and to enable the transition to a low
carbon economy. Within a short space of time, EIT InnoEnergy has supported
over 480 innovative products, invested €560 million and accelerated 380+ start-
ups.

Since 2017, we have gone a step further, by being the driving force behind the
European Commission’s new industrial strategy. This strategy aims to structure
and reduce external dependency in strategic value chains, such as batteries,
green hydrogen and Solar PV. The European Battery Alliance (EBA), the Green
Hydrogen Acceleration centre and the European Solar Initiative, are the result
of this new approach of industrial alliances, fostering collaboration between the
industry to strengthen value chains.

In this catalogue, we are pleased to present the first set of industrial projects that
are supported by the Business Investment Platform of the industrial alliances:
Northvolt and Verkor, two giga-factories for batteries, as well as five emerging
raw materials projects, to support the autonomy of the battery value chain in
Europe. You will also find the first green steel industrial project, supported by
EGHAC (European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Center) which expects to produce
the first ton of CO2 free steel by 2024.

At EIT InnoEnergy we support electricity and heat production, industry, cities and
transport sectors as they undergo transformations in the future to reach net zero
emissions. We are at a point of no return, with enormous changes coming in a
very short space of time.

Available on request roads. Light electric vehicles (LEV) are an approach to implement
sustainable urban and industrial last-mile logistics, but most LEVs
do not provide sufficient payload.
THE SOLUTION.
Ducktrain combines a light electric vehicle with vehicle automation.
In a Ducktrain, up to 5 'ducks' are combined. In this way, the payload
of a conventional van can be transported. The space demand is
significantly smaller so that the city infrastructure is considerably
relieved. In the delivery district, the Ducktrain is separated and
single ducks do door to door deliveries. In forwarding applications
(e.g. transport pallets) they can drive into buildings, e.g. goods

Available on request. natural gas vehicles (Bio-NGVs), matching the common practice
of EVs. This would enable a future alternative fuel transport mode
where growth has been repressed due to a limited number of public
gas refuelling stations.
THE SOLUTION.
By utilising existing grids, HYGEN solves a problem of the NGV
market. In offering products with the unique freedom of refuelling,
HYGEN transforms the outdated NGV image into an EV-like concept.
Unlike large centralised public stations that require millions to build,
HYGEN+ is a cost-effective decentralised system, dedicated to
small business NGV owners. By providing convenient refuelling for
commercial fleets, HYGEN+ removes the bottleneck of a limited
centralised refuelling station network.
VALUE PROPOSITION.
• Faster refuelling (25 m3 in 7 min) than the competition and more
convenient/practical than visiting a public Bio-CNG filling station.
• Some 35% fuel cost savings when using HYGEN+ Bio-CNG
versus diesel.
• Low electrical consumption (0.45kWh/GLE) and noise levels (65dB).
• Allows end-user companies to “green” their fleet of vehicles,

Doing good and making a profit in
climate deep tech is possible…

At EIT InnoEnergy we follow the Environmental Social and Governance


(ESG) principles for responsible investments. Moreover, the European Green
Deal is at the core of our strategy. In this context, one important related
element is the contribution we make to the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations.

As part of EIT InnoEnergy’s commitment to making a positive impact on the


energy sector, on the environment, the economy and on society, we assess
the contribution the companies in our portfolio make to SDGs.

Up to 95% of these companies contribute to SDGs 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13,


given that SDG 7 and 13 are those with a direct link to EIT InnoEnergy
strategic goals of the reduction of CO2 emissions, an increase in the security
of energy supply, and the lowering of costs along the value chain.

As you will discover in this booklet, for us this is not just a classification:
SDGs are at the core of our investment process and provide a means to
measure impact. In the following pages you will find examples of how and
to what degree our assets contribute to a specific SDG; because making
good and making a profit may be two sides of the same coin.
