Eligible projects

What projects can be financed with an EcoCredit?

Energy efficiency projects such as:

  • Purchase of highly efficient production lines, presses, dry-off ovens, etc.
  • Installing highly efficient heating boilers and heaters, biomass boilers, air conditioning systems, cooling and freezing chambers, central ventilation systems, LED lighting systems, etc.
  • Replacement of windows with energy saving windows, insulation of walls, roof and attic space, or your office / production facilities
  • Purchase of agricultural equipment and freight or passenger vehicles
Example of a successfully completed project: replacement of a baking oven 
 

The goal of  the project
Replace old equipment by a rotary oven with electronic controls and a constant baking temperature in order to optimise production costs 
Loan amount MDL 160,000
Result
  • Monthly energy savings (electricity consumption) of avg. 25.5%
  • Productivity increase of around 7%
  • Better output quality / fewer poor quality batches
Project payback 1,5 years
 
Renewable energy projects include:
  • Solar water heating systems
  • Heat pumps and complex geothermal systems for cooling and heating
