Themes
The SDE++ program has several themes, including:
- Renewable electricity
- Renewable heat
- Renewable gas
- Low-CO₂ heat
- Low-CO₂ production.
It is available to businesses and non-profit organisations operating in industries such as energy production and the chemical industry. It supports technology highly relevant to the chemical processing industry such as CC(U)S, e-boilers, heat pumps or hydrogen production.
Objectives
The goal of SDE++ (in Dutch: Stimulatie Duurzame Energieproductie en Klimaattransitie) is to encourage the production of sustainable energy and reduce CO₂ emissions, thereby ensuring the feasibility and affordability of the energy transition in the Netherlands.
Details
- The SDE++ grant is designed for companies and non-profit organisations operating in various sectors, including the chemical sector.
- It serves to offset the “unprofitable top” of the investment and covers the cost difference between traditional/polluting technology and newer, more eco-friendly technology.
- Applications for SDE++ grants are only accepted during official application rounds, which occur once per year.
- Grant applicants should strategically determine their requested subsidy to avoid budget exhaustion.
- Applying at a lower subsidy amount can be a strategic advantage, despite the possibility of obtaining a lower grant amount, as it increases the chances of success.
