Do the United Kingdom national or South West regional government agencies provide grants to help industry to go green?

United Kingdom national and South West government entities do give some assistance to industry to go green in the form of loans and grants. There are programmes that can help a small business convert its operations to wind and solar power, and offers that allow small business owners to update their machinery or purchase new machinery that runs cleaner, or does not make as much emissions. If you need funds for greening your home or school, there may be housing or education grants available for these purposes also.
