ELOVAC® now eligible for funding through the Swiss KliK Foundation programme

Swiss wastewater treatment plants can now generate and trade CO₂ certificates by implementing ELOVAC® – the proven vacuum degassing technology from ELIQUO. ELOVAC® has been officially approved for the KliK Foundation’s renowned climate protection and CO₂ compensation programme. This opens a new opportunity for municipal plant operators in Switzerland to contribute actively to climate protection – and benefit financially.

Cut Emissions and Boost Efficiency

Installed between the digester and dewatering stages, ELOVAC® removes dissolved gases such as CO₂ and methane under vacuum – before they escape into the atmosphere. The result: a direct and measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions at the source. A win for the environment and for operational efficiency.

Through the KliK programme, emissions avoided by ELOVAC® are credited as high-quality CO₂ certificates. These are compensated at a rate of CHF 140 per tonne of CO₂ saved – providing an attractive return on investment.

Smart Sludge Degassing with Added Value

ELOVAC® delivers not only environmental benefits but also significant operational improvements:

• Prevents struvite build-up
• Improves dewatering efficiency by up to 5 percentage points
• Reduces polymer consumption by up to 20%

These gains make ELOVAC® a practical solution for plant optimisation – and a valuable contributor to long-term cost savings.

How to Join the KliK Funding Programme

Participating in the funding scheme is straightforward. Operators of eligible plants can register easily and begin generating CO₂ certificates after installing ELOVAC®. Compensation is based on the volume of methane emissions avoided and is paid annually in the form of certified CO₂ credits.

ELIQUO provides full support – from initial consultation through to commissioning. Eligible are municipal plants with anaerobic sludge treatment and open sludge storage.

Proven Technology – Now Available to the Swiss Market

With over 15 successful installations across the globe – from the UK to the US – ELOVAC® is a field-proven technology. Now, with additional financial support through the state-recognised KliK compensation scheme, it is available to wastewater treatment plants in Switzerland.

Take this opportunity to make your plant more climate-friendly and economically efficient. ELOVAC® enables you to make a measurable contribution to Switzerland’s climate targets – while benefiting financially from CO₂ certificate sales.
