The recipient companies are from the second round of the Scottish Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (SIETF) and mainly involved in the manufacturing and food and drink sectors. The successful projects include a more energy efficient dryer at a seaweed processing facility, while several brewers and whisky distilleries will also receive funding for projects in order to reduce the emissions that are created during energy-intensive manufacturing processes.
