The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFOŚiGW) offers numerous programs supporting environmental protection activities throughout Poland. These programs are designed to fund projects in key areas such as renewable energy sources, water and sewage management, biodiversity conservation, and climate change adaptation. With our assistance, you can find the program best suited to your investment needs, helping you achieve your sustainability and environmental protection goals.
Key Areas of Support within NFOŚiGW Programs
Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
NFOŚiGW actively promotes the development and use of renewable energy sources, supporting the transition to a low-emission economy. These programs provide funding for investments in technologies that utilize renewable energy sources, including:
- Photovoltaic systems – covering PV installations and solar systems for both residential and commercial buildings.
- Wind energy projects – supporting the construction of onshore and offshore wind farms, which are a key component of Poland’s renewable energy goals.
- Biomass and biogas power plants – facilities that convert organic materials into energy, reducing waste while generating clean energy.
- Geothermal systems – financing for projects utilizing geothermal energy, providing a stable and sustainable source of heating.
Support through these programs enables businesses, local governments, and individuals to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower CO₂ emissions, and directly contribute to climate change mitigation.
Water and Sewage Management
Efficient water management and sewage treatment are essential for protecting water resources and ensuring the sustainable development of urban and rural areas. NFOŚiGW offers grants and preferential loans for projects that improve water quality and sewage management. Programs include:
- Modernization of sewage treatment plants – increasing the efficiency and capacity of existing facilities to meet growing demand and environmental standards.
- Rainwater harvesting systems – collecting and using rainwater reduces the demand for potable water for non-drinking applications and mitigates stormwater runoff.
- Upgrading water supply systems – ensuring the efficient use and distribution of water, minimizing losses, and preventing water source pollution.
- Flood protection infrastructure – building reservoirs, retention basins, and dams to protect urban and rural areas from extreme weather events.
These projects are essential for protecting Poland’s water resources, supporting sustainable development, and improving public health and safety.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Protection
Biodiversity is the foundation of a healthy environment, and its conservation is a priority in NFOŚiGW programs. Funding is available for projects that protect endangered species, natural habitats, and support ecosystem services. Key areas of support include:
- Habitat restoration projects – rehabilitating degraded habitats, such as wetlands, forests, and grasslands, which are crucial for biodiversity.
- Protection of endangered species – initiatives focused on preserving Poland’s plant and animal species at risk of extinction.
- Creation of ecological corridors – building and maintaining natural passages that allow animals to move freely between habitats, preserving genetic diversity.
- Sustainable agriculture and forestry – promoting practices that minimize environmental impact and enhance biodiversity within managed ecosystems.
By financing biodiversity projects, NFOŚiGW helps preserve Poland’s natural heritage, mitigating the effects of habitat loss and climate change.
Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation
NFOŚiGW also supports projects that help communities and industries adapt to climate change impacts and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These programs focus on building resilience to climate risks and moving towards a low-carbon economy. Available funding includes:
- Energy efficiency improvements – projects aimed at reducing energy consumption in buildings, industrial processes, and public infrastructure through energy-efficient technologies and practices.
- Sustainable urban development – support for green urban infrastructure, including green roofs, walls, and spaces that help cities cope with rising temperatures and improve air quality.
- Development of low-emission transport – grants for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, bicycle lanes, and other initiatives promoting sustainable transportation.
- Climate risk assessments and adaptation strategies – providing municipalities and organizations with tools to assess climate risks and develop long-term adaptation plans.
NFOŚiGW’s climate programs support a wide range of projects, from local initiatives to national investments, all aimed at creating a more resilient, low-emission future.
Who Can Benefit from NFOŚiGW Programs?
NFOŚiGW programs are available to a broad range of beneficiaries, including local governments, public institutions, businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals. Depending on the program, funding can take the form of grants, preferential loans, or a combination of both, tailored to the specific needs of the project and the applicant’s profile.
