The programme is open to all sectors and targets innovations that will have the largest cross-sectoral impact on industrial energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Up to 20 projects will be co-funded with grants from £150k – £750k per project.

The IEEA will run an open application process until January 2018 to engage with technology developers looking for chances to demonstrate their near-commercial solutions and access 'incubation support'.

A series of engagement workshops will be held:

• Thursday 24^th August:                      London.
• Thursday 7^th September:                 Glasgow.
• Wednesday 13^th September:           Birmingham.

Julia Evans, Chief Executive, BSRIA said: “BSRIA is delighted to see such a scheme available which will be a great boost for members and industry alike. Indeed, BSRIA applauds any financial incentives that support energy savings and green measures. We understand that a ‘fast track’ process is available for those industrial companies already engaged with a technology developer and looking for funding and advice.”

High quality pilot projects that will go on to receive funding and implementation advice will be selected through the competitive application process based on a number of criteria – more details available at: info@carbontrust.com.
