Get involved in the Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator

Funding to support partnerships between developers of efficient technologies and industrial companies willing to trial innovations on-site

The Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator (IEEA) is providing up to £8 million in grant funding to support industrial scale demonstrations of novel process technologies with the potential to reduce energy consumption, maximise resource efficiency and cut carbon emissions.

Successful applicants typically receive between 40 to 60 per cent of required funding for their project, with IEEA contributions expected to be between £150,000 and £1 million per project – the remainder to be provided by the applicant.

The four-year programme is designed to support partnerships between developers of energy and/or resource efficient technologies, and industrial companies willing to test technologies on-site. It is open to projects from all UK industry sectors that can demonstrate either a novel technology (targeting Technology Readiness Levels 5-8), or the use of an established technology in a novel way.

The IEEA is managed for the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) by the Carbon Trust and its partners Jacobs and KTN.
