Enerrgy efficiency and sustainability are not just legal requirements today, but real economic factors. Those who invest in a modern compressed air station can expect up to 45% government funding – and reduce energy and operating costs in the long term. FILCOM accompanies you as a competent partner on this journey: from consulting and planning to successful funding processing.
Why is investing in modern compressed air technology worthwhile right now?
Rising energy prices, the new Energy Efficiency Act, and the increasing importance of sustainable production processes make energy-efficient technologies indispensable. An optimized compressed air station not only reduces your carbon footprint but also lowers your operating costs – with financial support from the BAFA funding program "Energy and Resource Efficiency in the Economy - Grants and Loans."
