Farm investment support and permit applications
A biogas investment can bring significant benefits to a farm, but successful implementation requires careful preparation and timely permit and funding applications. A farm-scale biogas plant requires building and environmental permits, as well as carefully prepared financial calculations to support the investment funding application. When the process is well planned and all required documentation is in place, permit procedures can progress smoothly and investment support can be secured within the intended timeframe.

Envitecpolis supports you throughout the entire investment process. We prepare farm investment support and permit applications on your behalf and ensure that all necessary documentation, including profitability calculations, business plans, financial calculations and authority permits, is comprehensive and up to date.
​
Implementing a biogas plant requires a building permit, an environmental permit and statements from relevant authorities, including the rescue authorities. We can support preliminary discussions with the authorities and prepare the necessary applications on your behalf. Investment support may cover up to 50% of eligible costs.
