Achieve international environmental best practice while keeping your business competitive
Green Plus Grant
For a more extensive sustainability review that needs more employee and consultant time, we offer grant supports to help you assess CO2 emissions, identify cost savings, improve water sustainability, measure a product’s environmental footprint, design circular business models, implement recyclable packaging, explore sustainable logistics, and more. IDA Ireland can support 50% of the cost up to a maximum total value of €60,000.Client Decarbonisation Support
Once IDA has received a Climate Action Plan from the client company, then the company can look at the option of using IDA’s capital supports.Capital grants provide financial support for implementing major renewable and energy efficiency projects. These tend to be large-scale capital intensive projects. The grant application ideally has a complementary mix of projects (e.g. solar panels + heat pumps).
These grants are for incentivising clients to invest beyond existing legally binding
environmental standards.
For Example:
- Renewable energy technologies e.g. on-site generation such as wind-turbines, solar farms.
- Pioneering projects e.g. on-site battery storage and infrastructure, hydrogen infrastructure. Manufacturing equipment that is far more efficient, or can run on zero emissions fuel, or is electric instead of fossil-fuel-powered such as heat pumps.

The Green Transition Fund
The Green Transition Fund supports companies as they prepare for a low carbon, more resource efficient future.
Under Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) (2021-2026), projects supporting the digital and climate transition of enterprise are being funded through the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. This covers projects that will facilitate emissions reductions as part of a decarbonisation plan.
All projects supported under the Green Transition Fund must comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation and in particular with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance.
