Improve returns on sustainability investments

Energy transition, decarbonization and sustainability-related investments have seen significant growth in recent years due to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), as well as US and global climate regulations. To propel success, understanding and optimizing the commercial and business models, including the funding and capital stack for these investments, is vital. This requires considering various capital options, tax-funding methodologies federal and state grant and incentive programs, and regulatory nuances. This also requires a solid grasp of the ever-changing geopolitical environment and potential looming changes.

There’s tremendous opportunity for organizations to invest in decarbonization-related technologies, as well as renewable and alternative energies. But identifying applicable funding sources and programs, interpreting eligibility criteria, navigating the application process and even claiming tax incentives can be too overwhelming for many teams to tackle on their own.

EY professionals help businesses capitalize on energy transition-related investments and sustainability incentives with confidence.
