Energy can be a significant business cost for companies running industrial processes. Improved efficiency can reduce costs, improve productivity and boost brand value. EECA has programmes to support energy saving in motors, motorised systems and process heat, where the largest energy-saving potential is typically found. We can also help fund fuel-switching to renewable energy.
