Deadline: One call a year — OCED issues individual funding opportunity announcements per technology area (hydrogen hubs, industrial demonstrations, carbon capture, long-duration storage, advanced nuclear). Each has its own concept paper and full application deadlines.

This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.

Moderate — a form and supporting documents.

You fund 50% yourself.
