Subsidy for companies to invest in technologies related to energy efficiency, recycling and reuse of water, local infrastructure and CO2-reducing measures
Versnelde klimaatinvesteringen industrie (VEKI)
Background information
The accelerated climate investment industry subsidy is for companies who want to implement existing, proven CO2-saving measures within their company or industry, but are running into excessive investment costs.
This grant scheme is one of the Top Sector Energy schemes from the National Grant Schemes of the Ministries of Economic Affairs and Agriculture. They support industrial research, experimental development and demonstration projects or combinations thereof, in order to contribute to the CO2 targets from the Climate Agreement and strengthen Dutch competitiveness.
Content of measure
This grant is for investments in devices, systems or techniques that are ready for the market. It is not for demonstration or pilot projects. Companies may apply for a grant to invest in technologies related to energy efficiency, recycling and reuse of waste, local infrastructure or other CO2 reduction measures. Technologies adopted must adhere to the general terms and conditions of the Top Sector Energy Regulations. Projects must be completed within three years of the subsidy being granted. Projects must result in the reduction of CO2.
The subsidy cannot exceed €80 per ton of CO2 reduction within 15 years of the technology installation. The total subsidy amount is €138 million. The maximum grant amount per company is €15 million. No money has been granted thus far.
