Energy

Our ambition in national and international markets for producing energy started 2012. The efforts to combine economical and environmental values and to create an energy supply in our markets and in our plants were and remain ambitious.

On the roof top of our headquarter in St. Georgen/Attergau 180 sqm of solar panels deliver about 30,000 kWh energy, that means aproximately 40% of our energy needs, including our own car charging station.

In our plant in Frankenmarkt we also have installed a new photovoltaic system with a solar panel surface of 9,350 sqm. The annual energy generation is about 1.6 GWh. The system contributes about 10% of the whole energy needs a year.

The trendsetting projects in „Photovoltaic Gera-Rusitz“ and „Hydropower Peru“ – we are with two share-holding companies in each particular country – demonstrate our ecological commitment and real advantages in the regions.

Carbon Renewable Energy GmbH (CRE) operates the PV-park in the industrial area in Gera-Rusitz since 2012. The PV-park holds 150.000 sqm PV-panels with a capacity of 7.086,2 kWp, which are supplied into private households and surrounded industry. The annual CO2 emmission savings are 6.412.800 kg.

Carbon Latin America GmbH (CLA) develops and builds two Hydropower Plants (HPP) in Peru, about 75 km east from the capital city of Lima, located along the St. Eulalia river: HPP Pallca und HPP Carhuac. Both units are designed as 20 MW capacity run-off-river plants. Involving no dams or impounding of water both Hydropower Plants work with minimal effects to the environmental surrounding and meet high ecological standards. HPP Carhuac has started in November 2018. The expected annual generation is scheduled with around 130 GWh.
