Investment Grants for Newly Constructed Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems with Non-Halogenated Refrigerants Open
The funding program from the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) offers investment grants for commercial users for the construction of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. A unique selling point is the requirement that these systems must operate with non-halogenated refrigerants to contribute to energy efficiency and climate protection. It is part of the national climate protection initiative.
Who is funded?
The funding program of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) supports commercial users, companies, universities, municipalities, and public institutions nationwide in investments in climate-friendly refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The goal is to promote the use of non-halogenated refrigerants and thus contribute to energy efficiency and climate protection.
What is funded?
This funding program focuses on financial support for projects aimed at establishing or modernizing refrigeration and air conditioning systems using non-halogenated refrigerants. The focus is on system components and the integration of renewable energies. Investments in a wide range of systems for increasing energy efficiency and environmental protection are funded.
Type and Scope of Funding
The funding program offers investment grants for eligible refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The exact amount of funding varies and can be determined using a funding calculator. The approval period for the project implementation is 24 months.
Terms and Requirements
Certain deadlines, documents, and legal frameworks must be observed for the application and subsequent implementation of the project. An essential aspect is compliance with state aid regulations, which are detailed in the funding guideline. In addition, specific proofs and technical requirements for the funded systems must be met.
Application Process
The application process for funding refrigeration and air conditioning systems is fully digitalized and requires submission via an electronic form from BAFA. It includes a mandatory waiting period for the grant notification before the project begins and a final review of the proof of use for disbursement of the funding.
