Sustainable manufacturing grants
The Re-tooling for Climate Change program is now accepting and assessing grant applications on an ongoing basis.
Small and medium sized manufacturers can apply for grants between $10,000 and $500,000, to help with projects that improve the energy and/or water efficiency of their production processes.
Up to half of the cost of each project can be funded, for projects of up to 18 months.
Projects must demonstrate a commitment by the applicant business, and potential of the project, to reduce their environmental footprint.
Examples of projects funded to date include:
- application of water capture and recycling technologies
- process re-engineering to reduce the energy and water consumed or wasted in production
- use of a renewable energy source to fuel production, including converting waste biomass to energy.
