Energy Management

Green energy

Since 2008, Universität Hamburg purchases only green energy to cover its electricity needs. This saves 6,000 – 10,000 tons of CO2 equivalents per year compared to the German average electricity mix (the savings in this comparison go down each year, as the share of green energy in the German average electricity mix increases). You find more information about the university's sustainable activities here: Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2015 -2018 (only available in German).
