Industrielle Energiekonzepte

Industrial energy concepts

With a deep understanding of current technological developments and based on our comprehensive technology database, we develop the bespoke energy concept for our customers.

High dependence of industrial energy systems on fossil fuels

The energy supply of industrial companies is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Many technologies, such as advanced battery and storage technologies or green hydrogen, are on the verge of commercialization. The range of technologies and solutions is often confusing. At the same time, future energy systems are highly interconnected and sectors are closely interrelated. Increasing regulatory requirements for industrial energy supply add to the complexity.

Good funding opportunities and market chances

On the one hand, a wide range of financing options are currently available to support investments in sustainable energy supply. At the same time, the electricity market is undergoing fundamental changes due to the expansion of renewable energy. The fluctuating supply of renewable energy leads to strong price fluctuations. Innovative energy concepts that address and anticipate this volatility in the planning process can achieve significant cost reductions of up to 50% in ongoing operating costs.

Path to Zero combines the necessary expertise and the right tooling

Our team has been developing industrial energy concepts since 2014 and has developed a deep understanding of the inter-dependencies in highly networked systems. Based on our constantly growing technology database and our simulation models, we find the solution that balances your emission and energy targets with your economic goals.
