The VEKI grant supports industrial companies investing in proven sustainable technologies. Projects focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy and CO₂ reduction may be eligible. Examples include heat pumps, the electrification of processes and carbon capture. The scheme is specifically intended for investments with a payback period of more than five years.
Eligible projects
The scheme focuses on industrial investment projects that contribute to CO₂ reduction and more sustainable production processes. It covers the following types of investments:
- Energy efficiency: investments that reduce energy consumption within existing processes.
- Circular economy: the reprocessing and reuse of products, materials and waste.
- Infrastructure facilities: projects involving infrastructure for waste heat and hydrogen.
- Other CO₂-reducing measures: investments that reduce emissions of CO₂ and other greenhouse gases from industrial processes.
