This interactive dashboard has been developed to provide a comprehensive view of projects that received co-funding from the Government Investment in Decarbonising Industry (GIDI) Fund. The tool shows projects, organisations, carbon abatement, and investment.

Two bespoke GIDI: Partnership projects are not included in the dashboard. Information on these projects can be found below.

The GIDI Fund provided support for businesses to switch from fossil fuels to cleaner, more efficient energy sources across the industrial and commercial sectors. Co-funding applications were open between early 2021 and late 2023. While GIDI co-funding is no longer available, active contracts are still underway for projects that haven’t yet been completed. 

Click through the pages to explore the impact of GIDI funding and find out more about the projects.

All data in this dashboard is updated (as required) quarterly for accuracy. Emissions data is an estimate based on applicants’ submissions. Due to rounding the project abatement figures may not add up exactly to the consolidated abatement figure.  

The GIDI: Partnerships programme took a bespoke partnership approach with New Zealand’s largest emitters to explore the opportunity for reducing their reliance on fossil fuels.
