The Seed and E-Face funds provide funding of 4m per year to support innovation across all business lines. Both funds are accessible to all business lines, including Seed Innov, which offers support from the earliest stages of Rd and proof-of-concept activities up to commercial launch. The purpose of Seed Innov is to cut the time-to-market for projects, while E-Face supports innovative low-carbon solutions by providing financial compensation to offset the difference in cost between a conventional carbon dioxide-emitting solution and an alternative low-carbon solution.
