The Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) supports businesses with high energy use to transition to a low carbon future. The fund targets existing industrial processes, helping industry to cut their bills and emissions through increased energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
Scope
IETF Phase 2: Summer 2022 will provide up to £70 million of grant funding across three competition strands:
- Studies – feasibility and engineering studies to investigate identified energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects before making an investment decision.
- Energy efficiency – deployment of technologies in order to reduce industrial energy consumption.
- Deep carbonisation – deployment of technologies in order to achieve industrial emissions savings.
Businesses can apply to more than one strand if they meet the scope and eligibility criteria for each of them. All projects must aim to improve the performance, emissions, and environmental outcomes of the industrial process beyond standards currently required by both UK and international law.
