To see whether a Carbon Trust 0% business loan is a viable option for your project, and to work out how much you could borrow*, use the calculator below.
 
 

The calculator allows you to:

  • Estimate the loan amount you may be eligible for.
  • Convert the kWh saving into CO2. The level of CO2 saved will define the amount of the loan. As a rule, every 2.5t of CO2 saved is equal to a loan amount of £1,000
  • Understand the total annual savings in £s which will define the repayment period.

For example: a £22,000 loan with £10,000 annual saving would be repaid over 3 years. Loan amount divided by annual savings = repayment period (rounded up to a whole year).

To determine the maximum possible amount the Carbon Trust might offer, simply enter the current energy use of your system below, along with predicted post-project energy use, and the price you currently pay for your energy.
