3R Fund

The 3R Fund is a co-funding scheme administered by the National Environment Agency (NEA) to encourage organisations to reduce waste disposed of at NEA's incineration plants and disposal facilities through the implementation of waste minimisation and recycling projects. The fund supports practical, implementation-level projects that result in measurable reductions in waste. The fund prioritises projects with new and innovative processes and concepts, particularly those targeting waste streams with low recycling rates such as food, plastic, and glass waste. Projects can include redesigning production processes, installing recycling infrastructure, implementing innovative waste sorting systems, and upgrading operations to reduce waste or increase recycling volumes.

BuildSG Transformation Fund (BTF)

The BuildSG Transformation Fund (BTF) is an umbrella framework that brings together all the various industry development support schemes managed by BCA under one unified platform. It is not a single grant but rather the overarching fund that facilitates transformation plans for Built Environment (BE) firms under key Built Environment Industry Transformation Map (ITM) areas. The BTF also enables individuals to tackle key transformation areas through upskilling and training. The BTF covers a comprehensive range of support schemes across multiple transformation pillars: workforce development, DfMA/IDD adoption, green buildings and sustainability, holistic firm transformation, and research & innovation. Each sub-scheme under BTF has its own specific eligibility criteria, funding levels, and application processes. By consolidating these schemes under one umbrella, the BTF aims to make it easier for industry players to discover and access relevant support while ensuring coordinated transformation across the entire value chain.

Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG)

The Energy Efficiency Grant (EEG) helps businesses improve their energy efficiency by co-funding investment in energy-efficient equipment across multiple sectors. The grant supports companies in transitioning towards more sustainable operations while reducing both energy costs and carbon footprint. The EEG provides two tiers of support: the base tier supports pre-approved energy-efficient equipment up to S$30,000 per company across six key sectors (Construction, Data Centres, Food Services, Maritime, Manufacturing, Retail), while the advanced tier supports larger investments up to S$350,000 that drive greater energy efficiency (available only for Construction, Manufacturing, and Maritime sectors). Equipment must demonstrate energy savings and be deployed in Singapore. Note: Data Centre users are administered by IMDA (not EnterpriseSG) and have a separate grant window extended to 31 March 2027. See the IMDA Energy Efficiency Grant for details.

Green Mark Incentive Scheme for Existing Buildings 2.0 (GMIS-EB 2.0)

The Green Mark Incentive Scheme for Existing Buildings 2.0 (GMIS-EB 2.0) is a S$63-million cash incentive scheme launched on 30 June 2022 as part of the Singapore Green Building Masterplan (SGBMP). The scheme aims to raise the energy performance of existing buildings and accelerate the pace to green 80% of Singapore's buildings by 2030. It replaces the earlier GMIS-EB 1.0 scheme with updated criteria and broader building type coverage. GMIS-EB 2.0 is an outcome-based scheme where funding support is calculated based on the Green Mark certification rating achieved and the extent of carbon emissions reduction through Energy Improvement Works (EIWs). The scheme provides grant support to building owners to lower the upfront capital costs for energy efficiency retrofits and improve the returns on investment, particularly for buildings targeting Super Low Energy (SLE) or Zero Energy (ZE) standards. It covers commercial, institutional, light industrial, and residential buildings.
