In the Field of Renewable Energies,

Renewable energies make an essential contribution to future power supply – for increased climate protection, greater supply security and the protection of our planet's limited resources.

For this reason, we are constantly seeking suitable locations around the globe where we can exploit inexhaustible resources such as wind, water and biomass efficiently and without damage to the environment. Considerable investments in research and development, along with pioneering international projects, address these demands and the fulfillment of our responsibilities to humanity and the environment.

 

In Sweden, a water-rich country,  for instance, 30 percent of the power we generate is hydroelectric. We operate large-scale offshore wind parks off the coasts of England and Germany. In addition, in Germany, we strongly promote both production and research and development in the field of biomass exploitation. The success of these projects validates our concepts. Today, 14 percent of our total power generated already originates from renewable energy sources. Increasing this proportion is our declared objective for the future.
