About Bord na Móna
Bord na Móna is an Irish, semi-state climate solutions company helping lead Ireland towards a climate neutral future. Bord na Móna has been serving communities for over 90 years, always rising to meet the needs of the day. It was founded in 1934 as The Turf Development Board to enhance national energy security through peat harvesting and became Bord na Móna in 1946. Today, we have radically changed our approach to face an even greater challenge ; climate change. We have ended peat harvesting and now focus on developing climate solutions in renewable energy, sustainable waste management, carbon storage, and biodiversity conservation.
Ireland has committed to ambitious climate goals and Bord na Móna’s climate solutions are helping to achieve them. Our vision is to help Ireland reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This means helping to remove the same amount of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere that are released. To power a net zero future, we are expanding our renewable energy infrastructure. We have been constructing and maintaining large- scale infrastructure for decades. Today, we are using that experience to build renewable energy developments across the country. These developments are transforming the way we generate and consume energy.
Ireland has committed to generating 80% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. We are working across wind, solar, biomass and biogas to help achieve this target and to provide energy security for future generations.
