Almost too good to be true: thanks to a generous government grant, energy-efficient compressed air systems become significantly cheaper. The reason is what is known as BAFA funding<\/strong>, which many homeowners will know from a private context. But what about the commercial context? Did you know that you can apply for BAFA funding for compressors and accessories<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

And it can really pay off: depending on the size of your company, a successful application can get you back up to 50% of the investment amount <\/strong>!<\/p>\n

In this article, we explain the background to this government funding and what to bear in mind when applying. Of course, we are always on hand to advise you on any individual questions on this topic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Compression still has room for improvement<\/h2>\n

There are many good reasons to invest in energy-efficient compressed air stations. For example, our range includes compressors that use up to 35% less energy<\/strong> than comparable units. This is noticeable not only on the electricity bill but also helps conserve valuable resources.<\/p>\n

Industrial compressed air generation becomes even more cost-effective and climate-friendly if you also make good use of its waste heat<\/strong>. Depending on requirements, this can provide comfortably heated rooms or hot water, for example. Screw compressors in particular are well suited to economical heat recovery<\/strong>. Depending on the unit, the necessary components can be integrated or retrofitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Your investment will be rewarded!<\/h2>\n

When energy consumption in production is reduced, both the company and society as a whole benefit. A classic win-win situation<\/strong>, then. Of course, this applies not only to the operation of compressed air systems but to all products and processes that contribute to greater energy efficiency and reduce dependence on utilities.<\/p>\n

As policymakers also welcome this, such projects receive financial support under certain conditions. The nationwide funding programme is run by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA<\/strong>) and its subordinate Federal Agency for Energy Efficiency (BfEE<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<\/div>

What should I know before applying for BAFA funding for compressors and accessories?<\/h2>\n

Investments in economical compressed air technology count as “measures to increase energy efficiency through the use of highly efficient technologies available on the market”, whose funding BAFA governs in “Module 1: Cross-sectional technologies”<\/a>. We have summarised the key provisions<\/strong> and some guidance for you below.<\/p>\n
