Government Restarts Building Renovation Initiative to Cut CO2 Emissions
The federal government has restarted its building renovation initiative, aiming to replace fossil heating systems with eco-friendly alternatives. This move, announced on Friday, is part of a larger plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030.
The initiative, set to run until 2030, will allocate 1.8 billion euros for boiler replacement and thermal renovation of buildings. This is expected to replace over 30,000 fossil heating systems annually, resulting in a significant CO2 reduction of 270,000 tons per year.
Funding applications will follow a 'First Come First Served' principle, with submissions opening in mid-November at the official government website. Unlike the previous model, only 30 percent of total costs will be funded, down from 75 percent. To prevent early depletion, a budget of 360 million euros per calendar year has been set. Services carried out from October 3rd are already eligible for retroactive funding. State funding remains a possibility to boost the total funding.
The renewed renovation initiative is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. With clear guidelines and a structured approach to funding, it aims to accelerate the transition to climate-friendly heating systems. The government's commitment to this cause is evident in the allocated budget and the expected impact on CO2 emissions.
