Sustainable energy systems
Germany's greenhouse gas reduction targets stipulate that emissions should be reduced by at least 65% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and that net greenhouse gas neutrality should be achieved by 2045.
This goal can only be achieved if cities and municipalities are just as committed as companies and private individuals.
NOWUM-Energy develops comprehensive climate protection concepts for cities and municipalities and sustainability concepts for industrial parks, helping companies to utilise energy more efficiently across the company and thus reduce their energy requirements. In addition, the CO2 reduction potential and the possible use of renewable energies are analysed.
