In addition to the inauguration of the AktivStadthaus in Frankfurt am Main by the Federal Minister for Building, Barbara Hendricks, in July 2015, the Efficiency House Plus Network is presented in the video clip.
The state of Rhineland-Palatinate is launching a solar offensive with a 5-million-euro funding programme for private and municipal solar storage systems.
Today, 9 October 2019, Energy Minister Ulrike Höfken and the Rhineland-Palatinate Energy Agency officially launched the Solar Offensive, which is to take effect at various levels. The Minister presented the solar storage programme as a central component of the offensive. "With the programme, we support private households and municipalities in installing new photovoltaic systems combined with battery storage. In this way, we want to promote the self-supply of municipalities with their properties such as climate schools and private individuals with self-generated PV electricity and its storage," said Höfken.
The funding can be applied for at the Rhineland-Palatinate Energy Agency at: www.energieagentur.rlp.de/solarspeicher

In its latest special report, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has emphasised the need for massive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. With its "100 Climate Protection Housing Estates in NRW" project, North Rhine-Westphalia is pursuing the goal of significantly reducing these emissions by combining energy-efficient buildings with low-greenhouse gas building technology. 35 of these energy-efficient climate protection housing estates have already been completed. A further 50 housing estates are under construction and in the planning stage.
The new brochure "100 climate protection housing estates in NRW - role models for energy-efficient housing construction" presents the spectrum of the 35 projects realised to date on 56 pages. From Aachen to Bielefeld, from Kleve to Siegen, owner-occupied homes, retirement homes, housing association projects and publicly subsidised flats have been built throughout the state.
Head of the topic area Andreas Gries from the EnergyAgency.NRW: "The 5,000 residents of these estates benefit from low energy costs and contribute to climate protection at the same time." According to the publishers, some of the estates achieve greenhouse gas savings of 80 to 90 per cent compared to standard developments.
The brochure is available here as a pdf download or can also be ordered as a printed version free of charge can be ordered:

Grenzach-Wyhlen, December 5, 2019. Hydrogen production in Grenzach-Wyhlen in Baden-Württemberg (not far from Basel) can start. Energiedienst today received approval for the operation of the power-to-gas plant. All technical verifications and official clarifications have now been fulfilled.
In the state-of-the-art plant, Energiedienst produces hydrogen from self-generated green electricity using electrolysis. The electricity comes from the company's own hydroelectric power plant on the same site. The environmentally friendly hydrogen will initially be used in nearby industry. It is also planned to use it in local public transport. A comprehensive concept also envisages that the waste heat generated during electrolysis will be used to heat a new residential area. By linking electricity, mobility and heat supply in this way - keyword: sector coupling - the plant should help to reduce CO2 emissions and support the energy transition.
A year ago, Energiedienst officially inaugurated the power-to-gas plant together with the State Minister of Economics, Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut (CDU).
The plant has an output of one megawatt. In addition, there is 0.3 megawatts from an affiliated research facility of the ZSW (Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research). The state of Baden-Württemberg has funded this as part of a lighthouse project.
At the end of October, Energiedienst also submitted a concept for hydrogen for consideration in the "Reallabore der Energiewende" ideas competition run by the German Federal Ministry of Economics. The Federal Government attaches a key role to hydrogen, especially for the mobility of the future. The funding commitment from Berlin is still pending.
