Concretely for nature

What we can do for the environment, we also want to do: With our 160 kWp photovoltaic system we generate about 155 MWh of electricity per year . This amount supplies about 45 households andthus reduces CO2 emissions by 108 tons. With our air purification system with heat recovery and the use of thermal exhaust air as well as the conversion of mechanical friction energy into heat, we have been able to reduce our gas consumption by up to 50 percent.

The proceeds from these events always benefit the children's village in full.
