We are pleased to announce that the UK Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions (UK PACT) programme has launched a new funding opportunity in Brazil on the energy transition and industrial decarbonisation sectors.
Brazil-UK PACT is seeking to extend its support to Brazil's energy sector, through technical assistance and capacity-building projects. This will assist the country’s Government in promoting a just and fair energy transition while accelerating industrial decarbonisation. The deadline for applications is 21 August 2024, 12:00 BRT/ 15:00 UTC.
What are we looking for?
UK PACT will award grants for projects that can enhance the energy transition and industrial decarbonisation in Brazil. The focus will be on five intervention areas:
Area of intervention 1: Access to credit for industrial decarbonisation in Brazil.
Area of intervention 2: Supporting the steel industry to achieve sectoral mitigation goals.
Area of intervention 3: Cement Industry Net Zero Roadmap - support for the development of decarbonisation strategies in (i) cement; and (ii) concrete & construction.
Area of intervention 4: Support the implementation of the National Policy of Energy Conservation and the National Program of Electricity Conservation within the industrial sector.
Area of intervention 5: Mapping current and future hydrogen demand and production in Brazil for the structuring of national low-carbon hydrogen “Hubs”.
MDIC is the key counterpart for intervention areas 1, 2 and 3, while 4 and 5 aim to assist MME.
Who can apply?
All organisations that consider themselves capable of delivering the project activities presented may submit proposals, considering aspects such as cost-effectiveness, project management, impacts on GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion), technical capacity of the organisation or proposing consortium.
