The scheme on energy efficiency and renewable energy in horticulture (EHG) offers companies active in greenhouse cultivation a subsidy of 25% for specific measures (contained in an annually-revised list) for increasing energy efficiency (or generating or using renewable energy), for which the maximum subsidy can differ per investment. Clusters of companies can also apply for a subsidy.

The Domestic Environmental Support Scheme in general provides financial support for projects which improve environmental performance beyond mandatory standards in energy, manufacturing as well as service industry. Projects may be related to all greenhouse gases. Focus areas in the climate change context comprise mainly projects to improve energy efficiency, support the use of renewable energy sources and promote sustainable transport. The legal basis is the Austrian Environmental Support Act, the scheme is administered by Kommunalkredit Public Consulting In 2017 and 2018 federal support of about EUR 100 million in total has been granted for projects with relevance for GHG mitigation (with nearly equal sums in both years). Half of the support was dedicated to energy efficiency, slightly more than one third to renewables. Additional support of more than EUR 50 million for these project stems from the EU and the federal provinces. These projects are expected to bring about a current emission reduction of about 600 kt CO2 p. a. and of 11 million tonnes over their whole life time.
