The Green Way was established to drive economic growth through cleantech

The Green Way is a ‘joined-up’ cleantech cluster organisation which has been established to leverage existing infrastructural investments, collective test bed capabilities, a thriving technology base, proactive environmental public policy, natural resource advantages and strong research, development and innovation capabilities in the Dublin region.

The initiator’s of The Green Way cleantech cluster are:

With regional stakeholders acting in unison

The Green Way will champion the Irish cleantech sector

globally, serve as a catalyst for a

diverse group of stakeholders

seeking to advance a common green

economic agenda, and co-ordinate,

support and promote business opportunities for

industry

Major industry involvement is the crucial next step now that the cluster is primed

Industry leaders see these cleantech clusters as key competitiveness drivers

“Today, Danish cleantech export accounts for the highest percentage of national GDP in the world. This is

because companies, universities and public institutions have joined forces in a concerted effort to sustain and expand our world-class cleantech competencies. I hereby invite you to

be part of Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster”

Anders Eldrup, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Dong Energy

"I am convinced that CleanTechNRW can significantly contribute to North Rhine-Westphalia's competitiveness as a location for business and industry. Also because of its bold

and clear commitment to future issues as climate change and the efficient use of resources“

Dr. Marijn Dekkers, Chairman of the Board, Bayer AG

Green Way as a test bed for Glen Dimplex

• Irish R&D, Irish comemrcialisation, Irish manufacturing jobs

• ‘Quantum’ space & water heating – energy efficiency, energy storage, demand side management, increased renewables on grid

• Required a property portfolio (FCC,DCC) for large scale ‘test bed’ deployment of Glen Dimplex hardware (MRV support through DIT)

• Project also involves TSO, DSO, Utilities, ICT provider, SEAI etc

“This project would not have been possible without The Green Way. Access to a formalised deployment platform within Dublin has radically improved the speed at which we can bring innovations such as Quantum to market”

Sean O’Driscoll, Group CEO and Chairman, Glen Dimplex
