Concrete Kilograms
In the category Concrete Kilograms, we are funding projects that have a clear measurable outcome. They could, for example, reduce phosphorus and nitrogen emissions measured in kilograms or tons close to the Baltic Sea or to the rivers that flow into it, reduce harmful substances measured in kilograms, or in some other measurable way contribute to the health of the Baltic Sea. The projects must include an element of innovation such as a new method, a solution, a business idea or technology.
