The Enterprise Emissions Reduction Investment Fund supports companies to decarbonise their manufacturing combustion processes through investment in carbon abating capital equipment and technologies.

The fund aims to increase the resilience of companies to climate change and support them to accelerate their progress towards a net zero carbon pathway by incentivising companies to invest in and adopt carbon reducing technologies.

The fund is operating under the Green Transition Fund, the overall objective of which is to accelerate the decarbonisation of Irish enterprise, as part of Ireland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan, which is funded by the European Union.

To protect the confidentiality of Enterprise Ireland client companies it is not possible to state the precise number of companies supported at a local authority area level as they may be identifiable due to the small number of companies involved.
