Minister Robert Habeck wants to support small and medium-sized companies in switching to climate-friendly production processes with a new funding program. Habeck announced on Friday that a total of €3.3 billion will be made available from the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF) for the „Federal Support for Industry and Climate Protection“ program by 2030. The program is intended to supplement the climate protection contracts, which are primarily aimed at large companies. Companies that reduce their emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030 will receive funding. Depending on the size of the company, the funding rate is between 30 and 50 percent of the investment sum; the maximum amount per company is €200 million.
