The Seed and E-Face funds provide funding of 4m per year to support innovation. Both funds are accessible to all business lines, without exception. Seed Innov provides support from early Rd and proof-of-concept activities through to commercial launch. The purpose of Seed Innov is to cut the time-to-market for projects. The second fund, E-Face, supports innovative low-carbon solutions by providing financial compensation to offset the difference in cost between a traditional carbon dioxide-emitting solution and an alternative low-carbon solution.
