University of Derby: Carbon reduction audits and grants
DE-Carbonise is a collaboration between the University of Derby, Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils starting in November 2019 for 3 years. This follows on from the successful D2 Energy Efficiency / Low Carbon project.
Businesses will be introduced to a lead contact to discuss their needs and support them throughout the intervention:
- Initial scoping phone call
- Business visit – Carbon reduction audit
- Carbon reduction opportunity report
- Package of support, e.g. £1-20K grant (40% of total cost ex VAT), Technical/ Research/ Business Support
Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils will provide carbon reduction audits, technical support and grants for site carbon reduction measures including:

- Resource efficiency
- Waste reduction and recycling
Grants between £1,000 and £20,000 are available in Derby and Derbyshire.
The grant covers 40% of the total cost of works (ex VAT), depending on the carbon saving.
