Textile Manufacturer Grant Requirements

  • To ensure technical innovation, compatibility with processes and cost reductions, electrification pilots need to take place. Where textile manufacturers have sufficient access to green energy (green tariffs, on site generation, PPA’s, etc.) for partial electrification of processes and units, pilots should be pursued. In these instances, the key barrier is risk and cost to the manufacturer.
  • Aii is looking to support textile manufacturers to undertake such pilot projects with grant funding in order to gather sectoral learnings that can be disseminated.
  • Aii hopes to create sufficient case studies that demonstrate technical feasibility, cost competitiveness and CO2 emissions reductions so that when the time is right for widespread electrification, there are examples to follow.
  • Lead applicants for grant funding should be textile manufacturers.

Grant timeline

The application process will follow these steps and timeline. We will be in touch if we need anything further from you and to let you know if you have been invited to pitch. If you do not hear from us by mid February this means, unfortunately, your application has not been successful. Please note that due to the volume of applications, we will not be able to provide tailored feedback to applicants who are not invited to the pitching stage. We will publish general insights from the applications once the grants have been awarded.

APPLICATION SUPPORT

The data presented by a CSP Grant or Registry applicant will differ according to the solution’s maturity level. For Grant applications, where we accept less mature solutions, we are looking for a strong case to be made for the effectiveness of a solution. For a Registry application, we seek evidence that the solution delivers the expected effectiveness. Below we have outlined the maturity definitions and how this relates to the data.

  • Pre-seed: Solutions at a concept level and in the process of evaluating and establishing their impact potential. The impact figures on these solution pages are indications of the solution's impact at this concept phase based on sources such as lab tests or a literature review. 
  • Pilot: Solutions testing to demonstrate a proof of concept. The impact figures on these solution pages are projections of the pilot's impact and do not yet reflect consistent performance.
  • Model: Solutions working towards de-risking and reducing known barriers to scale. The impact figures on these solution pages are averages based on data from several pilots but do not yet represent a wide data set. Therefore, the actual impact may vary.
  • Scale: Solutions that are commercially viable with a proven go-to-market strategy. The impact figures on these solution pages are averages based on data from numerous site-level implementations. Please note that the actual impact will be based on site-specific conditions and performance.

The Climate Solutions Portfolio Advisory Council evaluates applications according to the requirements set out in the Grant Funding Thesis with a focus on effectiveness, reach, and scale. Please review the Thesis for additional information.
