The task of the Accelerating Climate Efforts and Investments (ACE LIFE) project is to support Finland in halving emissions from the effort-sharing sector by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2035. The project focuses on the challenging actions aimed at reducing emissions in agriculture, heavy vehicle transport, and industrial processes.
Solutions to be developed in the project include value chains for paludiculture, plant-based proteins, and biogas, promoting low-emission energy use and energy efficiency measures for heavy vehicle transport and machinery while advancing clean and smart electrification of the industrial production processes of small and medium-sized enterprises. The project supports the implementation of the goals of the Paris Climate Accords and the EU emission reduction commitments in Finland by drawing up proposals and tools for more effective policy measures and climate funding.
The 20 million euros in funding will be used for implementing significant pilot and demonstration investments in Finnish companies while promoting actions for scaling them. The project supports Finnish efforts to implement emission reduction measures and investments, enabling the improvement of Finland's energy self-sufficiency and security of supply, reducing the costs incurred from climate change, while positively affecting Finland's international competitiveness, economy, and resilience.
The ACE project will be implemented in 2024–2030.
