The Ministry of the Environment is providing new subsidies to SMEs that are introducing equipment that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions, in order to encourage SMEs facing a difficult business environment due to the corona crisis to invest in decarbonization. It was decided to establish a system.
To realize a "decarbonized society" by 2050, measures are also required for the corporate sector, but some small and medium-sized enterprises are facing a severe business environment due to the influence of the new coronavirus. Not a few.
For this reason, the Ministry of the Environment has decided to establish a new subsidy system for small and medium-sized enterprises that introduce equipment that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
The target is when switching to energy-efficient air conditioning, freezer using "non-fluorocarbon" with low greenhouse effect, boiler without coal, etc.
A specialized institution analyzes how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced when the product is used for the entire useful life, and subsidizes 7700 yen per ton. The maximum subsidy is 50 million yen.
The supplementary budget for this year includes the necessary expenses of 3 billion yen, and the Ministry of the Environment wants to support investment for decarbonization of small and medium-sized enterprises.
