Renewable Energy
Renewable energies are generated from natural sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, biomass and geothermal energy. In contrast to fossil fuels, they are environmentally friendly and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. They therefore offer a sustainable alternative to ensure a future-proof energy supply.
At uvex
In addition to purchasing 100% TÜV-certified green electricity from hydropower since 2014, the uvex group is also focussing on photovoltaics as a future-oriented energy source. Photovoltaic systems are already in operation at several locations, making a significant contribution to CO₂ reduction. In 2023, a total of 194.7 kWp of photovoltaic power was installed, which was further increased in 2024 by additional projects in Rednitzhembach (~780 kWp) and Fürth (~1.4 MWp). The uvex group has been using green gas since 2016 and offsetting emissions from gas combustion through sustainable projects.
