More climate protection for less money – uncover promising, favorable opportunities.

Costs vs. climate protection.

Do you plan to do more for climate protection in your company? Integrate renewable energies more strongly, advance electromobility or set up your district heating system less dependent on fossil fuels? These and many other to-dos are currently on the agenda of energy suppliers and industrial companies – and they all cost money.

However, immense costs for climate protection do not have to be necessary. There are often opportunities to make a significant impact with relatively little money, both in the short and long term. However, especially in the complex energy systems in energy supply companies and in industry, there are too many adjusting mechanisms, the possible combinations and effects of which are difficult to keep track of. Therefore, it is often challenging for decision-makers to uncover these promising, favorable opportunities.

Uncovering the connection between costs and CO₂.

Data-based decision-making tools and mathematical optimization systems show the options and future scenarios that are optimal for your company in terms of costs and CO₂. Firstly, you can quickly find out which options for reducing CO₂ emissions in your current energy system can be realized cost-effectively in the short term, and secondly, which paths and investments make sense for converting your system in the long term.

The correlation between costs and CO₂ is generally not linear. For example, questions such as “How much extra cost will result if I want to reduce my CO₂ emissions by 10% in the short term?” are not that easy to answer.

Very low CO₂ emissions can often be achieved with relatively small investments. With our optimization solution you can find out which options are particularly profitable for your company and for climate protection.

How cost-optimized climate protection works is described in our expert article in the specialist magazine “VDI energie + umwelt” Issue 11-12/2024 (German only).
