Direct support

Given the number of schemes available choosing the right one and applying can be time consuming; this is where Envirolink Northwest can help. In addition to the funding portal and guide Envirolink Northwest is able to offer assistance to regional organisations to identify and secure funding for low carbon projects. Support is focussed toward the following groups:

• Low carbon technology businesses

  Especially companies operating in sub-sectors of the energy and environmental technologies and services (EETS) sector. Companies could include those involved with energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable construction, low carbon water or wastewater treatment, energy from waste and others.

  
  
• Northwest organisations wishing to demonstrate low carbon technologies

  This group includes public, private and not for profit organisations. This includes energy intensive sectors such as Food & Drink, Chemicals and Advanced Engineering as well as public sector bodies such as NHS Trusts, further and higher education institutions and local authorities.

Funding workshops

We will also be running a number of funding workshops please watch this space for further details.
