Sweden’s Climate Leap investment program will open its first application period‍ of⁣ 2026 February 2-13, offering funding for projects that switch to fossil-free fuels. Organizations can apply for support to convert ⁤to electric power, install biomass boilers, heat pumps, or other energy conversion methods.

“Take the opportunity to submit your institution’s application for ‌support to convert to electric⁤ operation, switch to a ⁢biomass boiler, heat pump or for some other form of⁤ energy conversion,” said Martin Gometz.

The‍ Climate Leap provides investment support for ‌measures that reduce carbon dioxide and ‍other ‌climate-altering ​gas emissions.⁤ Popular investments include electrifying transportation, phasing out fossil fuels for heating in businesses and industry, and investments in agriculture. the program runs⁤ through 2030, with significant funding allocated for ⁣2026.

“The Climate Leap is one of the broadest supports available ‍for various types of ‍businesses‍ to reduce their ‌emissions,” said Ylva Jalming,⁤ energy⁤ and climate officer at the Halland County Administrative Board. “We hope‍ that the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency‘s division of this year’s‌ application rounds ⁣will make it​ feel smooth for companies and result in faster processing with us and the‌ agency.”
