Carbon Trust Loans

A joint partnership between the Carbon Trust and Siemens to provide UK businesses with green equipment finance worth up to £550 million over the next three years.

Energy Efficiency Financing
3e will not only identify the issues, design the solution and manage the project, we will also submit appropriate projects for Carbon Trust funding. The Carbon Trust’s loans are designed to reduce carbon emissions by enabling businesses to overcome the capital barrier of purchasing energy saving equipment. Loans are provided on an unsecured basis and you can borrow a sum flexible to your business needs from£1,000 with no upper limit. Repayments are offered on a 12 to 84 month basis.

A loan that pays for itself
Loan repayments are calculated to be offset by your monthly energy savings. A Carbon Trust loan is actually designed to pay for itself, and save you money year after year.

The loan can cover the cost of the technology, delivery to site and installation. With 3e commissioning the product supplier and managing the installation, you are left with nothing to do but count the savings.

What companies are eligible?
All UK companies trading for at least 12 months can apply. Including larger businesses that are participating in the Carbon Reduction Commitment.

State Aid Restrictions no longer apply. This means companies operating in primary agricultural, fisheries and aquacultural, transport, coal or export-related activities are now eligible.

So what’s the catch?
There really isn’t one. The loans are simply designed to make it easier for you to invest in energy saving equipment. You should receive an unconditional loan offer within 10 working days of us submitting your application.
