The goal of this initiative is to support companies in development of the tangible and replicable approach towards decarbonisation.

The assistance process will be provided over the period April – September 2021.

The indicative financial framework of support per business amounts up to 30,000 BAM (with minimum 30% contribution by a grantee).
