Following the war in Ukraine, we quickly prepared for a gas shortage and then a potential energy shortage. We were able to save a lot of energy with great success. We were well prepared and acted with foresight. That's good - in terms of sustainability and security of supply. The Bundesnetzagentur still emphasises the need to use energy sparingly. Financing also remains a major challenge. The imperative is therefore clear: saving energy remains permanently on our sustainability agenda.
With our joint efforts, we are fulfilling our social mandate to act sustainably. This is an important contribution to maintaining our performance in research, teaching and learning, transfer and administration. Thanks to the restrictions that everyone at the University shares, we can avoid a major crisis for the University. Thank you for your commitment.

How can we save energy in battery production? How can we use our resources more sparingly - in agriculture, for example? Which new drives and mobility concepts on land and in the air are climate-friendly? In addition to acute measures to save energy in the context of the energy crisis, the TU Braunschweig is actively researching forward-looking technologies for more sustainability and economical energy consumption in the future. This is also reflected concretely on campus and in teaching - for example, in the introduction of a sustainability course of study and through the installation of photovoltaic systems. Read more...
