Funding Applications & Carbon Contracts for Difference – CCfD
Funding Applications and Carbon Contracts for Difference for Decarbonisation Projects
Decarbonisation projects require significant investment from businesses and public bodies. Funding programmes such as the Federal Funding Scheme for Energy and Resource Efficiency in Industry (EEW), the Federal Funding Scheme for Industry and Climate Protection (BIK) or Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD) help to reduce the additional costs of climate-friendly technologies, methods and processes. They create financial scope for investments in energy efficiency and decarbonisation and support you in meeting the requirements of energy and climate protection policy. We assess which programmes are suitable for your project, evaluate the eligibility criteria and assist you with the application process, the technical preparation of documents and communication with funding bodies.
Overview of Services: Funding for Transformation and Climate Action
Funding Assessment & Programme Classification
We determine which funding programmes – EEW, BIK or climate protection agreements – are suitable for your decarbonisation project. Key factors include the project scope, investment volume, technical requirements, expected CO₂ reduction, deadlines, reporting obligations and any distinctions between programmes.
Transformation Plans & EEW Module 5
We draw up or validate key components of your transformation plan – GHG inventory, energy consumption analysis, target pathway, assessment of measures and preparation for EEW Module 5. This creates a robust basis for investment decisions and grant applications.
Individual Measures & Investment Projects
We assess the general eligibility of planned measures. This involves evaluating technical requirements, investment costs, expected energy or GHG reductions, and reporting requirements.
BIK for Industrial Decarbonisation
For investments, research and development projects, process conversions or CCU/CCS approaches, we clarify the requirements for BIK funding.
Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs)
We assess whether a Climate Contract for Difference is, in principle, a viable option for your industrial transformation project. Relevant criteria include the technology pathway, investment and operating costs, expected GHG reductions, reference processes, timetable and data requirements.
Funding Application & Communication
We prepare or validate application-related documentation. We also facilitate communication with funding bodies and provide support throughout the process, right up to the issuance of the implementation certificate.
Workshops & Information Formats
We provide information on relevant funding opportunities in Germany and the EU, funding eligibility criteria, funding rates and application procedures, and highlight which programmes may be relevant for identified GHG reduction measures. If necessary, we involve experienced partners.

Overview of Funding Opportunities
To provide your business with the best possible support, these programmes offer you the opportunity to foster sustainable growth and ensure long-term competitiveness:
Through the Federal Funding for Energy and Resource Efficiency in Business Programme (EEW), you can strategically invest in energy-efficient processes, methods, or technologies, monitoring systems, or the development of your customized transformation plan.
The Federal Funding for Industry and Climate Action (BIK) supports companies with climate-friendly investment, research, development and innovation projects, as well as CCU/S projects.
For energy-intensive sectors Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs) offer the opportunity to significantly reduce investment risks associated with more costly but more climate-friendly processes.
