In addition to the coaching & training and access to corporates, investors and procurers, EIC-supported researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs have access to the EIC Greenhouse Gas programme. With the programme, part of the Business Acceleration Services, the EIC offers the support and expertise needed to assess, track and efficiently reduce the carbon footprint of beneficiaries. Additionally, the programme helps co-create new green services and business along the way.
The EIC Greenhouse Gas Programme is a journey towards carbon neutrality, with a set of unique steps that SMEs will benefit from. This includes the use of a dedicated GHG tool to assess a company’s carbon footprint as well as suggesting mitigation measures, monthly webinars to support these services, as well co-co-creation activities & working groups with corporates, industrial associations, regions in carbon transition and others SMEs.
EIC Greenhouse Gas Tool
The EIC GHG Tool is the starting point for considering as well as developing the most efficient solutions to reduce GHG emissions and assess to what extent one company’s strategy is compatible with EU objectives.
Access the tool here.
(Please note that this login area is accessible only to the Members)
The GHG Tool empowers significantly EIC beneficiaries to simulate GHG emissions widely. This encompasses direct (e.g., site combustion, vehicle fuel) and indirect emissions (e.g., product manufacturing, business travel). After assessing the carbon footprint for a baseline year, the tool recommends mitigation measures. Beneficiaries can select and commit to measures for implementation over years. Using these results and selected measures, it’s possible to consider or propose innovative products aimed at reducing emissions in each category. As a result this process enhances sustainability efforts and encourages emission reduction strategies.
Regular webinars on the use of the GHG Tool will be organized. In order to apply, please go to the EIC Community.

Support Services and Sectorial Webinars
Through the dedicated EIC GHG support services and sectorial webinars, EIC beneficiaries will acquire expert knowledge on CO2 emissions, climate regulations and learn why climate action is a business case. As from September 2021 EIC beneficiaries will have access to:
Monthly webinars on climate issues and policies, best practices, instructions to use the GHG tool (more below) together with key reduction measures;
A GHG Resource Library with studies, papers and other sources that cover and support the content from the monthly webinars. The library is updated is updated every two/three months with new information, sources and studies on the latest climate science news;
CO2 experts provide live online support (4h/month from Sep. 2021) and an online helpdesk for assistance;
Weekly content on the EIC Community, including a news recap of all climate related news and inspiring success stories. The EIC Community houses 5500+ innovative startups together with scaleups developing products contributing to GHG emissions reduction. An overview (updated on a regular basis) of these leading examples can be found on the EIC Community. Additionally, we are planning regular updates on the latest breakthroughs related to climate and the co-benefits of taking climate action.
A full list of webinars can be found at the end of the page (see ‘Calendar’). To apply for the EIC GHG webinars, please visit the EIC Community.
Co-creation and working groups
The EIC GHG co-creation activities are a key component of the programme and will enable EIC beneficiaries to partners with Europe’s largest corporates (SUEZ, Unilever, Bondalti), industrial associations (Cepi), regions in carbon transition (Western Macedonia, Katowice) as well as other SMEs.
The co-creation activities offer EIC beneficiaries a customer-oriented focus. They enhance relationships among different players and raise the chances of successfully adapting and inventing products and services. Each co-creation activity spans six months. This includes stages such as application, selection, kick-off, co-creation, and concludes with a dedicated demo day. This day serves as a platform to showcase co-creation products and services.
Additionally, EIC beneficiaries are welcome to join online Working Groups on the EIC Community Platform. Working Groups on the EIC Community Platform will help start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs to successfully establish co-creation teams (co-creation peer-to-peer) with the help of qualified business facilitators.
A full list of co-creation activities can be found in the calendar below. In order to apply for the EIC Greenhouse Gas Programme co-creation activities, please visit the EIC Community.
