Air pollution control measures for existing plants or emission sources in industrial and commercial buildings are subsidised. 

Actions funded include:

  • Avoidance of air pollutants (primary measures)
  • Wide scale reduction of air pollutants (secondary measures) 
  • Reduction of dust emissions from commercial and industrial plants, in particular PM10 
  • Capture and treatment of diffuse dust emissions, if no such air treatment plant already exists 
  • Improvement of filter systems in biomass plants 
  • Equipment and retrofitting of exhaust after-treatment systems to reduce particulate emissions from construction machinery and equipment, and special vehicles in accordance with the VERT filter list of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN).

Examples of eligible installations (parts): 

  • Filter systems 
  • Catalytic after-treatment systems 
  • Thermal afterburners
  • Hall exhaust systems with treatment plants 
  • Process conversions for emission reduction 
  • Particulate filters 

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