Energy Efficiency Funding
An archived note on the EECA lower carbon meat and dairy programme, kept online for the record.
Decarbonisation
Please note
This fund is no longer available. GIDI co-funding closed to new applications in 2023; existing contracted projects continue.
EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) showed that meat and dairy plants were the biggest users of industrial heat in New Zealand, and that more than half of the approximately 200 plants nationwide used coal fired boilers.
EECA launched an initiative to reduce the carbon footprint of these plants through energy efficiency.
Dobbie Engineers partnered with EECA to deliver the lower carbon meat and dairy programme, identifying opportunities on client sites and developing business cases and feasibility studies.
Through the programme, Dobbie Engineers could access grants to assist with suitable studies and projects. For decarbonisation work today, see energy efficiency and decarbonisation on our services page.
