Scottish government announces decarbonisation fund recipients

The Scottish government has announced that ten companies have been successful in their bids for a share of the second round of the Scottish Industrial Energy Transformation Fund.

Totalling £9.4 million, the fund aims to help industry in Scotland to reduce their carbon emissions, through decarbonisation and energy efficiency projects, with the majority of the recipients falling in the manufacturing and food and drink sectors.

Thanks to the awarding of the funding, the projects involved have the chance to reduce their emissions by 40,482 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. This is equal to the average annual emissions 17,000 households.
