The project involves replacing hot steam generation with humidification based on ultrasonic low-temperature water mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Installing this technological innovation can allow the company to save up to 95% on electricity consumption during the humidification stage, as well as 5% during the cold generation stage. This measure is not easy to implement and would entail a medium-to-long term return on investment. The measure does not require a production shutdown while the technology is being installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Generating a water mist through a thermal process consumes 95% more energy than through a mechanical ultrasonic process. Further, proofing causes an exothermic reaction that requires cooling of the proofing chambers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultrasonic humidification through adiabatic evaporation contributes to cooling, while the thermal process must be compensated by additional cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the “incentive effect”, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> N.B. While several state subsidies cannot be granted for the same project, they can be combined with assistance from energy suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers are required to make energy savings for consumers under the obligation scheme. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advice, as well as subsidy programmes for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures. The amount of the premium is proportional to the annual energy saving (in MWh). The following suppliers offer this service for companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n N.B.: Supplier subsidies can be combined with a state subsidy for the same project.<\/p>\n\n\n The tax relief is calculated based on the investments and operating expenses incurred as part of an ecological and energy transition project. For the project to be eligible, it must meet at least one of the following objectives:<\/p>\n For certain objectives, minimum thresholds must be met. Further details and conditions: Guichet.lu<\/a>

\nThe tax relief rate is set at 18% and is applied directly to the amount of tax due.
\nThis deduction can be combined with standard state subsidies.<\/p>\n\n
\nTo verify your eligibility and ensure that these thresholds are satisfied, it is recommended that the impact of the measure on one of the above conditions be certified by an expert or a design office.<\/p>\n
