GHG Capture and Removal Track (Directive 4.80)

GHG Capture and Removal Track (Directive 4.80)

Funds industrial plants in Israel to develop greenhouse gas capture, removal, and utilization options.

Directive 4.80 — the GHG Capture and Removal Track — is a capital grant programme administered by the Authority for Investments and Development of Industry and Economy at the Ministry of Economy and Industry, jointly with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The programme supports fuel-consuming industrial plants in reducing carbon emissions by funding the capture and removal of greenhouse gases and the improvement of production processes. It was published on 18 December 2024 and a new submission cycle opened on 1 January 2025; the current cycle remains active as of April 2026, with no specific closing deadline published on the directive page.

Directive 4.80 is part of Israel's three-track industrial decarbonisation response framework introduced alongside the carbon tax effective January 2025. The two companion programmes are Directive 4.79, which supports carbon tax adaptation for industry, and Directive 4.82, which funds fuel conversion and electricity efficiency. Together they represent the government's coordinated approach to reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions. Applicants under Directive 4.80 apply via the online portal at gov.il/he/pages/grant-4-80, using the standard Kalkalit submission system operated by the Ministry of Economy and Industry.

Eligible applicants are for-profit industrial corporations registered and operating in Israel whose primary activity involves fuel consumption in production processes. Non-profits, universities, and research organisations are ineligible. Award amounts and grant rates are specified in the Directive 4.80 PDF and accompanying summary document, which detail eligibility criteria, scoring methodology, and required attachments including a Managers Declaration form, a Beneficiary opening form, and project-specific data appendices. Applicants seeking programme details or clarification may consult the Q&A document published alongside the directive or contact the Authority for Investments directly.
