Bafa promotion

Baba promotion
What promotes?

The Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) supports investment measures for the energetic optimization of systems and processes.

What is funded?

Investments that can be proven to save energy and thus reduce CO2 emissions can be subsidised. If you e.g. If, for example, you want to replace step-switched welding machines with high energy consumption with efficient REHM welding technology, you can take advantage of the Module 4 funding. The costs for the creation of the savings concept and the implementation support by an external energy consultant are also eligible. The payback period for the entire measure must last more than 2 years.

How much are the grants?

 Up to:

40% of the cost

€900 per tonne of CO2

€10 million

BAFA supports large companies with up to 30% (maximum €500 per ton of CO2 saved) and small and medium-sized companies with up to 40% (maximum €900 per ton of CO2 saved) of the eligible costs. The maximum funding is €10 million per investment project. 

Who is sponsored?

Private and municipal companies with a permanent establishment or branch in Germany are eligible to apply. The planned measures must be carried out on the territory of the Federal Republic. A BAFA-approved energy consultant must be commissioned to draw up the obligatory savings concept.
