The Seed and E-Face funds provide funding of 4m per year to support innovation. Both funds are accessible to all business lines, regardless of their industry. Seed Innov provides support from the early stages of Rd and proof-of-concept activities, continuing to help projects through to commercial launch. The second fund, E-Face, supports innovative low-carbon solutions by providing financial support to offset the difference in cost between a conventional carbon dioxide-emitting solution and an alternative low-carbon solution.
