Funding is available for waste heat extraction installation from industrial and commercial processes. Actions covered include:

• The feed-in of waste heat into existing or new local and district heating networks via transport line and distribution centre 
• Distribution grids with transfer stations 
• Heat pumps for raising the core temperature of waste heat for heating purposes 
• Low-temperature or power grids with consumer-side heat pumps to harness the waste heat 

Examples of eligible installations (parts): 

• Decoupling system with heat exchanger 
• District heating pipes (transport line) and distribution centre 
• Distribution network with transfer stations 
• Centralised and decentralised heat pumps for increasing temperature 

In addition to the plant and parts, planning and installation are recognised as eligible costs.
