Scrapping premium for old (wood) stoves

The Ministry of the Environment in Rhineland-Palatinate has launched the funding programme "1,000 efficient stoves for Rhineland-Palatinate". Within the framework of this programme, the replacement of old fireplaces with modern wood-burning systems is financially supported if they were approved between 1 January 1985 and 1 January 1995. The subsidy amounts to up to 800 €. The subsidy programme is intended to help accelerate the dismantling of old appliances in accordance with the 2nd stage of the 1st BImSchV and to further improve air quality. A total of 500,000 euros is available. This measure covers all old single-room furnaces such as wood-burning stoves, heating and tiled stove inserts from the above-mentioned period that are fired with solid fuels such as logs, wood or lignite briquettes. In addition, the replacement of old oil stoves is also promoted if they are replaced by a modern wood-burning stove.
