ETV: an asset for boosting the credibility of an innovative eco-technology.
PEXE supports the ETV (Environmental Technology Verification) program.
ETV is a tool designed to help companies developing innovative technologies in the environmental field. This program enables independent verification of the performance of new environmental technologies, thus demonstrating the relevance of new products and facilitating their market entry.
ETV is a voluntary process governed by a formal protocol (General Verification Protocol – GVP2 – launched in 2011). The verification report issued by the verification body can be used by the technology provider to convince potential buyers.
7 relevant technology areas
Fields under the European pilot program:
- Water monitoring and treatment
- Materials, waste, and resources
- Energy production technologies
And fields under the national program:
- Air monitoring and treatment
- Soil and groundwater monitoring, remediation of polluted soils
- Environmental technologies in agriculture
- Eco-friendly processes and production
Costs and financial support
Verification costs range from €20,000 to €40,000, excluding any additional testing. ADEME can provide financial support for selected projects through calls for proposals. The funding rate depends on the size of the company and varies from 40% to 70%, without exceeding €10,000.
