Use of renewable energies to combat climate change The rise in emissions caused by the use of fossil energy sources impacts the environment and has consequences for industry – it is high time to rethink. For years now global growth has been behind the worldwide rise in energy consumption. Climate change and dwindling fossil fuel resources are the consequences of this trend. Nuclear power is also becoming less of an option, because the problems linked with the nal disposal of atomic waste are simply insolvable. Plus the risks involved in this technology were once again brought home to everyone...

The economic consequences – a shortage of resources and continuously rising energy costs – are as obvious as the even more serious long-term consequences for the environment. The International Economic Platform for Renewable Energies has calculated that 34 billion tons of carbon dioxide were emitted in the year 2011. A new world record, to which the three biggest producers of CO2 – China, the USA and India – alone...

Interview Dr. Frank Beermann “Secure and efcient energy supply and mitigating climate change go hand-in-hand” One-on-One with Dr. Frank Beermann, General Manager GILDEMEISTER energy solutions. GILDEMEISTER has made solar tracking systems, small wind turbines and energy storage systems the mainstay of “GILDEMEISTER energy solutions”. What is behind all of this? Megawatt at the Bielefeld Energy Solutions Park, we do not just generate a considerable part of the energy we need on site. The aim of the Energy Solutions Park is also to use the electricity for a good purpose and to organise consumption...

| Energy efficiency | Generate | Store | Utilise | “All industrial enterprises can produce part of their own energy requirements themselves with our products – and can do so without any grid connection.” Reducing emissions means increased use of renewable energies – locally, in Germany, Europe and the world. How do you estimate the market here? Where do you start with energy management? The main reason that energy potentials are often insufciently used in companies is a lack of information. This then is our rst step; we inspect existing as-built plans and undertake a plant inspection to determine...
