— Outcome
Today, the Lüdenscheid factory now generates 25% with a solar power plant, 25% with a co-generation unit and 50 % green electric energy from the grid. Surplus power is fed through the public grid, contributing sustainably produced energy to the second location’s power supply.
The plant generated 1,190 MWh of climate-neutral solar power in the first year and now saves up to 680 tons of CO₂ per annum, serving as proof that it is possible to reduce carbon emissions all the way to zero and creating a demonstrable blueprint for customers and wider industry.
