Israel has launched a national plan worth 300 million shekels (87.9 million U.S. dollars) aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector, the country's ministries of energy, economy, and environmental protection said in a joint statement on Monday.



According to the statement, the program represents a strategic effort to modernize industrial operations, reduce energy costs, and enhance Israel's ability to meet global environmental standards.



The initiative will fund projects that either convert existing fuel systems to electricity, hydrogen, or natural gas or reduce overall fuel and electricity consumption through efficiency improvements. It will encourage the replacement of outdated, energy-intensive systems with newer, cost-effective alternatives in areas such as air conditioning, heat pumps, compressed air systems, and resource management.
