In order to make investment in equipment upgrades affordable, the Carbon Trust and Siemens have launched a new scheme to provide UK manufacturers with green equipment finance. This scheme will boost green growth and unlock business investment in the low carbon economy – key to economic recovery.
Enabling investment in such technologies as low energy lighting, energy-efficient motors, low carbon air conditioning or biomass heating, the new dedicated green finance scheme will enable manufacturing businesses to invest in equipment which not only saves energy costs, but also helps improve productivity.
Any business is able to apply for new green growth finance from the scheme, which is designed to match monthly payments with the equivalent savings from lower energy consumption.
The Carbon Trust will apply its expertise in carbon saving from energy-efficient technologies to provide an assessment of the carbon, energy and cost savings of any application for finance.
Siemens Financial Services in the UK (SFS UK) provides the financial backing and manages the provision of funding.
Any business wishing to apply, or any equipment supplier wishing to offer the scheme to its customers, should visit the website
