What kind of project did GIDI: Industrial co-fund?
- The fund aimed to help businesses accelerate energy efficiency and fuel switching projects. It encouraged innovation by supporting early adopters of technologies that demonstrate wide replication and emissions reduction potential.
- Eligible projects reduced or enabled the reduction of energy use and/or carbon emissions of existing industrial processes, through energy efficiency, fuel switching (e.g. from coal to biomass or electricity) to a renewable energy supply, or other decarbonisation approach.
