badenova

badenova is pursuing the ambitious goal of being climate-neutral by 2035. This is linked to the massive expansion of energy generation through wind power and photovoltaics. With the world's second-largest photovoltaic system on a stadium roof and the first covered solar cycle path in Europe, badenova is demonstrating in Freiburg that renewable energy generation can also be realised in urban areas and that sealed infrastructure can be used twice. The entire heat generation is also being converted to renewable energy sources. Geothermal energy will contribute around half of this. With this technology, badenova is one of the pioneers in Germany. Hydrogen will be particularly important in the decarbonisation of industry. This is why badenova was a co-founder of the tri-national hydrogen initiative 3H2. In this initiative, the energy supplier is now working with over 70 partners to drive the market ramp-up of hydrogen in the tri-border region.

Energy and heating transition only in combination

Freiburg not only offers badenova a home, but also an inspiring environment for innovation and progress. The company's maxim "With the region - for the region" is also put into practice in Freiburg, as the energy and heating transition cannot be organised and implemented centrally alone. With the "Energiewende@home" ecosystem approach, badenova is placing people and private households with their individual needs at the centre of the transformation. The aim is to make the transition easy for customers - digitally, of course. In this way, badenova is creating a "marketplace" for full-service offerings in cooperation with regional tradespeople and hardware manufacturers.

With its commitment to the energy and heating transition on both a large and small scale, badenova shows that the realisation of sustainability goals is not just a vision, but a tangible reality. This was also recognised with the prestigious ZfK Sustainability AWARD in the "Digitalisation" category.
