The purpose of the Decarbonisation Fund for Tertiary Education in Wales (‘Digarbon’) is to provide £20m of loan funding for further and higher education institutions in Wales to support the implementation of heat decarbonisation, energy efficiency, renewable, and electric vehicle and electric vehicle charging infrastructure measures.
The scheme aligns closely with the Heat Strategy for Wales by implementing low carbon heat solutions, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing heat demand, whilst increasing renewable energy capacity. The scheme is intended to be utilised holistically with other funding from the Welsh Government available to Higher and Further Education institutions for example, the Wales Funding Programme, also delivered by Salix.
Ar gyfer beth y gellir defnyddio cyllid Digarbon?
Pwrpas y Gronfa Ddatgarboneiddio Addysg Drydyddol yng Nghymru ('Digarbon') yw darparu £20m o gyllid ar ffurf benthyciadau i sefydliadau addysg bellach ac addysg uwch yng Nghymru i gefnogi gweithredu mesurau datgarboneiddio gwres, effeithlonrwydd ynni, ynni adnewyddadwy, a cherbydau trydan a seilwaith gwefru cerbydau trydan.
Mae'r cynllun yn cyd-fynd yn agos â Strategaeth Gwres Cymru drwy weithredu atebion gwres carbon isel, gwella effeithlonrwydd ynni a lleihau'r galw am wres, wrth gynyddu capasiti ynni adnewyddadwy. Bwriedir i’r cynllun gael ei ddefnyddio'n gyfannol gyda chyllid arall gan Lywodraeth Cymru sydd ar gael i sefydliadau Addysg Uwch ac Addysg Bellach er enghraifft, Rhaglen Ariannu Cymru, a ddarperir hefyd gan Salix.
