 Projects We Fund

Projects must deliver both CO2 and revenue benefits and, preferably be in line with the Salix objective, offering long term CO2 savings. For example, cavity wall insulation will deliver CO2 savings far more consistently over a very long period compared to discreet user adjustable heating controls which tend to diminish after just a few years. Domestic and transport projects are not covered by this scheme.

To ensure that the fund is used for projects that deliver long term energy and CO2 savings, all compliant projects should be prioritised on the basis of their capital cost per tonne of CO2 saved on a lifetime basis (£/tCO2LT2).

Projects must comply with the following three criteria:

  • Maximum 5 year payback period
  • £200/tCO2 lifetime basis
  • Technology implemented must have a shorter life expectancy than the location.
