The funding program aims to ensure that voluntary investment projects lead to a reduction in environmental impact. The funding is therefore based on the tonnes of CO2 or CO2 equivalents avoided each year or the cubic metres of water saved.
The amount of funding is determined in funding priorities 2-7 by avoiding
CO2 emissions. Irrespective of this, the following maximum permissible funding intensities apply with regard to the eligible costs (funding for
eligible costs):

• in funding priority 1 (efficiency checks) a maximum of 50 percent,
• in funding priority 2 (energy efficiency) a maximum of 30 percent,
• in funding priority 3 (material efficiency and water) a maximum of 40 percent,
• in funding priority 4 (renewable energies for process heating/cooling) a maximum of 45 or 30 percent, depending on the method used to determine the additional investment costs,
• in funding priority 5 (unavoidable waste heat) for additional investment costs associated with the
• improvement of environmental protection, maximum 40 percent,
• in funding priority 5 (unavoidable waste heat) for generation plants a maximum of 45 percent and for investments in the distribution network a maximum of the difference between the eligible costs and the operating profit, but not more than 50 percent,
• in funding priority 6 (decarbonizing production) a maximum of 40 percent
• in funding priority 7 (flexible use of energy) a maximum of 40 percent

The amount of funding can be increased for micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises in funding priorities 2 (energy efficiency), 3 (material efficiency and water), 6 (production
decarbonise) and 7 (flexible use of energy) by 10 percentage points and in funding priority 4 (renewable energies for process heating/cooling) by 5 percentage points.
