Apply for funding for green roofs

Procedure

The funding program for green roofs is managed by Bremer Umwelt Beratung on behalf of the Senator for the Environment, Climate and Science. Interested parties can obtain advice on the implementation of projects and help with the application process by making an appointment. Citizens should also send the attached application form to this office (see office).

The application must be accompanied by a site plan or sketch and a cost estimate.

The overall financing of the facility must be secured at the time of application.

The measure may not be started before the grant has been approved. The approval authority will decide on exceptions upon application.

The grants are approved by notification.

The grant will be paid out after completion of the system and after submission of the cost receipts and after inspection of the system by the approval authority or a body commissioned by it.

More information

Green roof projects are only funded if corresponding funds are available. There is no legal entitlement to funding. If the subsidies are not used appropriately, they can be reclaimed including interest.

In accordance with Section 5 of the Act on the Enforcement of a Minimum Wage in Bremen (State Minimum Wage Act) of July 17, 2012 (Brem.GBl. p. 300), which came into force on September 01, 2012, the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen and the municipalities of Bremen and Bremerhaven only grant subsidies if the recipients undertake to pay their employees at least the statutory minimum wage of currently €8.50 (gross) per hour worked.
