     The Global Environment Facility has granted Algeria six million dollars (4.5 million euros) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and boost energy efficiency in the industrial sector, the government announced Tuesday.

    The project is part of the facility's global campaign to battle climate change.

    "This financial contribution is to subsidize energy-efficient industrial investments" the ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement on its web site.

    Algeria in 2004 ratified the Kyoto Protocol that aims to curb global warming.

    The Global Environment Facility, set up in 1991, funds environmental projects in developing countries.
