FROM OUr PARTNER

Bord na Móna and the Renewable Energy Undergraduate of the Year

Apply

At Bord na Móna we want to help create a brighter future where Ireland has reached net zero. We deliver clean energy, carbon storage and resource recovery solutions for Ireland’s greener future.

Climate action starts with changing mindsets. We’ve redefined our role in tackling the challenges posed by the climate crisis. We take tangible action at scale, helping to inspire change and meet Ireland’s climate goals. We’ve changed how we manage our natural assets and created climate solutions that seek to renew our energy, recycle our waste, and neutralize our carbon emissions. We’re rehabilitating lands for biodiversity,  

and we’re returning raised bogs to peat-forming conditions so they can store carbon. We’re helping to build towards a more sustainable, brighter future for our environment and climate and we want you to be part of it.
