All about subsidies for sustainable projects
VEKI
The VEKI scheme (Accelerated Climate Investments in Industry) encourages companies to invest more quickly in proven technologies that reduce CO₂ emissions. It specifically targets investments with a payback period of more than five years—projects that often don’t go ahead without financial support. Thanks to VEKI, the payback period is shortened, making these climate measures more feasible. The subsidy covers 30% of the eligible costs. This includes investments in equipment, installations, or systems that have already been successfully implemented elsewhere.
