Unlock funding for your decarbonization journey

Manufacture 2030’s funding initiatives vary depending on where you are located in the world. This location is based on where your facility is, rather than your headquarters. 



Globally: all M2030 suppliers can access energy attribute certificates, power purchase agreements, virtual power agreements, and biomethane procurement. 
Partners include: STX

USA: suppliers also have access to a $300 million funding pot to support renewable energy projects. 

Partners include: Renew

UK: suppliers can also access an additional funding pot to help with renewable energy projects, as well as a no-cost service to identify potential opportunities at any facility.

2. We will evaluate your facility's eligibility and connect you with one of our partners for a free consultation.

Please note, only signed up members of Manufacture 2030 can be referred to these partners.

Biomethane Certificates are certificates confirming the production and injection of biomethane into the natural gas grid, often used to track and trade renewable or low-carbon gas.

1MW of biomethane, entitles the holder to retire and 'claim' 1MW of emissions free gas use against their Scope 1.

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are certificates that prove traceability and consumption of renewable Energy. One EAC represents 1 MWh of renewable energy production that will have been added to the relevant grid.

EACs allow businesses to replace a MWh of emissions-causing electricity with a MWh of zero-emissions. This means you can reduce your Scope 2 emissions. These certificates receive a different name and use specific tracking systems in electricity markets worldwide.

Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) enables customers to enter a service agreement to pay for energy efficiency upgrades using the money they save on their monthly utility bill.

This helps preserve upfront cash/CAPEX or avoid adding debt to the balance sheet that is typically needed to acquire the technology.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts under which a business agrees to purchase electricity directly from a third-party seller. This third-party seller will maintain, operate, and build a renewable energy system that can either be on-site (on the customer’s property) or off-site elsewhere. Physical PPA customers will receive physical delivery of electricity through the grid, regardless of the energy system is on-site or off-site.

Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs), also known as Financial PPAs, are a long-term contract where a consumer pays an agreed fixed price per MWh of renewable energy to a third-party generator through a contract of differences.

The generator sells the energy to its local markets, whilst the consumer receives renewable energy credits but maintains its existing standard electricity contracts with its existing suppliers. If the market price is lower than the agreed fixed price, the consumer will pay the generator any negative difference. If the market price exceeds the agreed fixed price, the generator will pay the consumer any difference.
