  • The VEKI subsidy is intended to support sustainability and energy savings in the industrial sector.
  • It supports projects focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The subsidy is managed by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO).
  • Applications can be submitted annually during the open application periods.
  • The payback period of the investment must be at least 5 years (without the subsidy).
  • The project must involve investments in proven technology.

Objective: Accelerated Climate Investments in Industry

The main goal of the VEKI subsidy is to support investments (tangible or intangible) by industrial companies that contribute to the cost-effective reduction of CO₂ emissions or other greenhouse gases.

Purpose: Lowering the Barrier to Sustainability Measures

Companies often face long payback periods when investing in environmentally friendly machinery, production lines, or factory processes. This makes it more difficult to take sustainability measures. The VEKI subsidy is available to help lower this barrier. Whether you are investing in energy-efficient machines (excluding fossil-fuel-driven installations), renewable energy production, or technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, your project may be eligible. This is specified under the following themes:

  • Energy efficiency
  • Circular economy
  • Infrastructure facilities for waste heat and hydrogen
  • Other CO₂-reducing measures

Issued by the RVO

Applications for the VEKI scheme can be submitted to the RVO. Enablemi helps you prepare a winning application and bring your project to a successful outcome.

Depending on CO₂ Reduction

The amount of the VEKI subsidy depends on the project type, the reference investment, the expected energy savings, and CO₂ reduction. The subsidy can cover a substantial portion of the project costs, lowering the financial barrier for investments in sustainability.
