# Energy Efficient Projects > Energy Efficient Projects — Alkaloid AD Skopje Source: https://alkaloid.com.mk/list-of-energy-efficiency-projects ## Energy efficient projects In the period from 2013 to 2016, Alkaloid AD used the financing opportunity for energy efficient projects and projects in the field of renewable energy sources of the WeBSEFF (Western Balkans Sustainable Energy Financing Facility) credit line, provided by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Commission, that aims at providing loans to companies from the Western Balkans (Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia).   For the projects to be accepted for financial support, the condition was to achieve energy savings of at least 20%, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 20%, as well as to comply with national environmental requirements, health and safety standards and accordingly, to provide all necessary permits. The main benefits of the projects are energy saving, return on investment through energy saving, upgrading of technology lines and equipment, as well as building the image of a socially responsible company that cares about the protection of the environment.  During that period, Alkaloid AD implemented several projects in Skopje, as well as one in Belgrade. Solar collectors were installed for heating hot sanitary water, modernization of the heating system in the educational center in Dojran, installation of a low-temperature hot-water gas boiler for heating the Quality control Pharmacy building, raw materials and packaging warehouse and annex facilities. We continuously invest in energy efficient roof and facade systems, as well as windows with low heat transfer coefficient. In addition to the procurement of new energy efficient equipment, we pay attention to automation and optimization of all systems that use any type of energy. In October 2015 in Zagreb, Alkaloid AD was awarded first prize for a successful implementation of energy efficient project.  The total amount of the WeBSEFF credit line used by Alkaloid AD was around 1.500.000 EUR.  **1\.
