Within industrial projects, the objectives are improved use of resources and by this reduce emissions to air, soil and water. The positive environmental effects may be obtained directly by the investment, but also indirectly through NEFCO financial support to companies producing environmental equipment e.g. water treatment chemicals or insulation material. In those cases the environmental effect is realized at the consumer level.

NEFCO has financed a number of industrial projects with direct and indirect reductions of environmental emissions.

Eligible projects have been for example, modernisation of cement production, modernisation of rockwool production, etablishment of modern slaughterhouse, conversion of fossil fuelboiling to biofueletc.
