The purchasing a wood-burning stove<\/strong> is not only an investment in cosiness, but also in energy efficiency and sustainability. Both in Belgium as the Netherlands<\/strong> there are several subsidies and grants for wood-burning stoves<\/strong> that make it more financially attractive to switch to this form of heating. In this article, you will discover what schemes exist, how to benefit from them, and what to look out for when applying for a grant or premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy choose a wood-burning stove?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWood-burning stoves<\/strong>, such as soapstone stoves, pellet stoves<\/a> or solid wood-burning stoves are popular because of their sustainable nature<\/em>, high efficiency and aesthetic value. Modern wood stoves meet strict environmental standards and can be an excellent alternative to gas heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nEnergy independence:<\/strong> Less reliance on fossil fuels.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSustainability:<\/strong> Wood is a renewable energy source.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCost efficiency:<\/strong> Lower energy costs in the long run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nSubsidies for wood stoves in Belgium (Flanders, Wallonia & Brussels)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn Belgium, subsidies for wood stoves depend a lot on the region you live in. Each regional government has its own rules and conditions.<\/a<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Flanders: My Renovation Premium<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSince the reform of Flemish premiums in 2022, the My Renovation Premium\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n <\/g><\/svg><\/span><\/a> The one-stop shop for renovation and energy premiums.

Wallonia: Primes \u00c9nergie<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn Wallonia, owners can benefit from Primes \u00c9nergie.

Brussels: Environment Brussels grant programmes<\/h3>\n\n\n\nBrussels Environment<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> currently no longer offers specific subsidies for new wood-burning stoves, but does support energy renovations through broader programmes. Note: Brussels discourages the use of wood burning because of air quality problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSubsidies for wood stoves in the Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn recent years, the Netherlands has made a strong commitment to sustainability through the Sustainable Energy Investment Subsidy (ISDE) scheme. This scheme also applies to certain types of biomass boilers and pellet stoves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. ISDE subsidy (RVO)<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe ISDE scheme is administered by the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO)<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>. The grant is aimed at both individuals and business users investing in renewable heat generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nQualifying devices:<\/strong> Pellet stoves, biomass boilers with minimum efficiency of 89%.<\/li>\n\n\n\nApplication period:<\/strong> Until no later than six months after installation.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTotal budget:<\/strong> Fixed annually (in 2024: \u20ac350 million).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nPoints of interest in ISDE application:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nSee if your device appears on the RFO's device list.<\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure the installation is carried out by a recognised installer.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSubmit your application on time with all necessary documents (invoice, photos, technical sheets).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nSustainability requirements and environmental standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBoth Belgium and the Netherlands have strict requirements for new installations. For example, modern wood or pellet stoves must comply with the European Ecodesign label (Ecodesign Directive). This guarantees minimum emissions of particulate matter and CO\u2082 per combustion cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEcodesign standards include:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nEnergy efficiency:<\/strong> Minimum efficiency of >75% for traditional stoves.<\/li>\n\n\n\nLow emission values:<\/strong> Restriction on particulate matter (<40 mg\/m\u00b3), CO (<1500 mg\/m\u00b3).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nMoreover, environmental organisations such as Bond Beter Leefmilieu recommend using only appliances with automatic combustion technologies to reduce air pollution (BBL.be<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nCost savings through subsidies: A calculation example<\/h2>\n\n\n\nLet's look at a concrete example of how subsidies can contribute to lower costs when buying a pellet stove:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nPurchase price pellet stove: \u20ac3500 incl. installation<\/li>\n\n\n\nPossible ISDE subsidy (NL): \u20ac500 - \u20ac1000 depending on type of appliance<\/li>\n\n\n\nPossible Flemish premium: up to \u20ac1800 (income-dependent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nTotal amount saved:<\/strong> up to \u20ac2800 depending on location and situation!<\/p>\n\n\n\nPoints to consider when buying & installing a wood-burning stove<\/h2>\n\n\n\nMake sure your investment meets all the conditions to be entitled to subsidies or grants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nChoose a device that appears on the approved list (e.g. RVO list or Ecodesign-certified).<\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure the installation is done by a certified professional with certification (RESCert, InstallQ).<\/li>\n\n\n\nKeep all invoices, technical sheets and photos carefully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nSustainable alternatives besides wood burning<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSome households prefer to opt for other forms of sustainable heating such as heat pumps or solar boilers. Extensive subsidy schemes exist for these too within both Belgium and the Netherlands through My VerbouwPremie or ISDE scheme, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSmart combining: Combine subsidies with energy loan or green loan<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBoth Flanders and Wallonia offer advantageous loans through the Energiehuis or through banks such as BNP Paribas Fortis or KBC Groene Lening, in addition to subsidies. In the Netherlands, you can turn to the National Heat Fund or Duurzaamheidslening via SVn (svn.co.uk<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>). These loans are often interest-free or have a low interest rate of up to \u20ac15,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWorking with approved installers always pays off!<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWorking with certified installers not only increases the chance of approval of your subsidy application, but also guarantees safety and efficiency during installation. Always request several quotes to compare prices and check references!<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegulatory dynamics - stay up-to-date!<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBoth Flemish and Dutch regulations on subsidies change regularly. It is important to always consult up-to-date information via official websites such as RVO.nl, Vlaanderen.be or Leefmilieu Brussel. Also consider updating older blog articles on this topic with recent figures from, for example, the ISDE annual budget or new premium levels from Mijn VerbouwPremie from July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFrequently asked questions on subsidies and premiums for wood-burning stoves (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Can I get a subsidy for my existing wood stove?<\/h3>\n\n\n\nNo, subsidies only apply when replacing or installing new appliances that meet environmental standards such as Ecodesign certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. What is the difference between a pellet stove and a conventional wood stove?<\/h3>\n\n\n\nPellet stoves use pressed pellets (pellets) as fuel and often have automatic functions; classic stoves use split firewood and require manual operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. How much is the ISDE subsidy on average?<\/h3>\n\n\n\nBetween \u20ac500 to \u20ac2500 per appliance, depending on type of stove and efficiency figures according to RVO list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4.

In Wallonia, owners can benefit from Primes \u00c9nergie. These premiums target energy-saving measures, including the installation of efficient wood or pellet stoves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brussels Environment<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> currently no longer offers specific subsidies for new wood-burning stoves, but does support energy renovations through broader programmes.

Make sure your investment meets all the conditions to be entitled to subsidies or grants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some households prefer to opt for other forms of sustainable heating such as heat pumps or solar boilers. Extensive subsidy schemes exist for these too within both Belgium and the Netherlands through My VerbouwPremie or ISDE scheme, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both Flanders and Wallonia offer advantageous loans through the Energiehuis or through banks such as BNP Paribas Fortis or KBC Groene Lening, in addition to subsidies. In the Netherlands, you can turn to the National Heat Fund or Duurzaamheidslening via SVn (svn.co.uk<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>). These loans are often interest-free or have a low interest rate of up to \u20ac15,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWorking with approved installers always pays off!<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWorking with certified installers not only increases the chance of approval of your subsidy application, but also guarantees safety and efficiency during installation.
