Sustainable Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Programme

Ireland is a recognised global leader in sustainable energy, a society that is fully engaged in the sustainable energy agenda and an economy that is fully exploiting the global opportunities in clean, low-carbon solutions. The Sustainable Energy RD&D Programme aims to improve the coherence of Irish energy research and development, building a cleaner and more secure energy future, while enhancing our knowledge economy. The Sustainable Energy RD&D Programme does this by: • Accelerating the development and deployment in the Irish marketplace of competitive products, processes and systems • Supporting solutions that enable technical and other barriers to market uptake to be overcome • Growing Ireland's national capacity to access, develop and apply international class RD&D • Providing guidance and support to policy makers and public bodies through results, outcomes and learning from supported projects
