This scheme continues its task to reduce fossil fuels as well as making public buildings more comfortable and more efficient to warm. This is important as we know most of the buildings in the public sector still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water, and catering.

Decarbonisation Scheme BENIFITS

  • Helps reduce fossil fuel emissions as well as making public buildings more comfortable and cheaper to warm. 
  • For Phase 3c of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, an additional financial year of funding has been granted by the Department. This funding increases the value of the overall funding to the scheme and will enable Phase 3c projects to deliver across two financial years.
  • Applicants can submit separate applications for separate projects or combine several projects for delivery across one or two financial years.
  • Ongoing client and technical support on project delivery. 
  • Introduction of application status updates that will be available to applicants through their Application Portal account. 
  • Categorisation of soft sector caps (divided by Health, Education and Other) to ensure a more balanced distribution of funds across sectors. 
  • Applicants can include energy efficiency measures and other enabling works, that are additional to the replacement of the fossil fuel heating system, where they support a whole building approach to decarbonisation.

Working With CO2 Target

CO2 Target can work with your staff to submit separate applications for separate projects. Alternatively, we can combine several projects in a single application for a single year fund allocation or a multi-year fund allocation.

By using CO2 Target for your application, you will benefit from receiving a feasible, actionable plan based on our assessments of your assets. Our independent approach means we can create solutions at the best possible cost. Since no two buildings are the same, an energy solution should be tailored to a building. In other words, off the peg systems or those that only focus on one aspect of energy won’t deliver you the best results.

Co2 target has a proven track record in supporting grant and funding applications to achieve funding for energy saving solutions, energy management and decarbonisation goals. Once the grant is secured our independent, specialist engineers and project managers will oversee the project delivery, ensuring all programmes are completed within time and budget
