OUR PARTNERS
Farmers And Landowners
Feedstock, regenerative practice, RENURE and grant guidance for farmers and landowners, alongside Civitas engagement and co-operative ownership for the communities around them.
Landowners And The Circular Economy
Climaticus works with farmers and landowners to turn feedstock, farm by-products, and land management into structured participation in the circular bioeconomy. We support new revenue and farm resilience through feedstock agreements, regenerative farming practices, RENURE guidance, and practical grant advice from the first conversation. Climaticus also works with the communities around these projects to build ownership and procedural justice into the circular bioeconomy infrastructure.
What We Offer
For Farmers and Landowners
Feedstock Contracts
Climaticus connects farmers to AD developers through structured feedstock supply agreements. These contracts are long-term, price-stabilised and tied to verified offtake. Farmers can supply slurry, crop residues and agricultural by-products on terms that reflect the practical value of the material.
Regenerative Farming Advice
Climaticus provides agronomic guidance on soil health, nutrient management and regenerative practice tailored to Irish farming systems. This advice is practical and applied. It helps farmers improve land management and document environmental benefit through clear operating records.
Renure
Climaticus helps farmers assess whether the Renure pathway fits their system. Renure classifies certain processed digestates as fertiliser substitutes in defined circumstances. We support farmers with practical guidance, regulatory understanding and a clear view of where Renure creates value on the ground.
Grant Guidance
Climaticus helps farmers identify which public schemes are genuinely relevant to their farm. We focus on TAMS 3, ACRES and LEADER, the most relevant routes for on-farm investment, agri-environment practice and rural diversification. We help farmers understand which schemes fit their enterprise, what they support, and when an application is worth pursuing.
| Scheme | What it supports | What it offers |
|---|---|---|
| TAMS 3 | Farm buildings, equipment, nutrient storage and specified infrastructure improvements | Grant aid for eligible capital investments that improve farm infrastructure and environmental performance. Relevant strands include support linked to nutrient storage and slurry management. |
| ACRES | Agri-environment and climate actions on farms | Ireland's flagship agri-environment scheme under the CAP Strategic Plan. Supports biodiversity, water quality and climate actions, while providing income support for participating farm families. |
| LEADER Programme 2023 to 2027 | Rural diversification, local enterprise, green economy and community-scale development | Supports eligible rural projects through Local Action Groups, relevant where farmers are exploring diversification, local bioeconomy activity or partnership-based rural development. |
For Communities
Civitas by Climaticus
Civitas by Climaticus is a structured community engagement methodology built on peer-reviewed research into social licence, legitimacy and community dynamics. Communities meet a project through accurate information early, engage across its full lifecycle, and hold Climaticus to a formal walk-away protocol that protects the integrity of the process.
Community Ownership
Co-operatively owned hubs give communities and farmers equity in the shared processing facility itself. Feedstock suppliers become infrastructure owners and share in the returns their material generates, holding that value in the community.
Local Benefit and Energy
Climaticus structures projects so communities gain directly, through feedstock aggregation revenue, a share of receipts, and a route into community energy ownership. Local people are participants in the infrastructure on their land, with a documented say in how it develops.
FAQs
What feedstocks does Climaticus work with?
Climaticus works with slurry, crop residues, and other agricultural by-products used in anaerobic digestion systems. The right fit depends on volume, location, handling requirements, and the needs of the developer.
How do feedstock contracts work?
Feedstock contracts set out supply terms, pricing structure, volume expectations, and delivery arrangements. Climaticus helps farmers understand whether a proposed agreement is practical, commercially sound, and aligned with the wider project.
Is Renure available now?
Renure is a defined regulatory pathway, but its practical use depends on compliance conditions and the Irish policy context. Climaticus helps farmers understand where it applies and what it would require in practice.
Which grants are most relevant to my farm?
The answer depends on your enterprise, planned investment, and location. TAMS 3 is relevant for eligible capital works, ACRES is relevant for agri-environment actions, and LEADER may support diversification or rural enterprise activity.
Do I need to be part of an AD project already?
No. Climaticus can work with farmers who are exploring opportunities at an early stage and want to understand feedstock options, practical readiness, and the shape of a viable partnership.
