Renewable Energy

PTW harnesses the power of the sun. On the roofs of our buildings, we have photovoltaic (PV) systems installed with a total power of 230 kWp. This is enough potential energy to cover about 25 % of PTW‘s electricity needs – equivalent to continuously powering roughly 55 four-person households. Our PV system has led to a reduction of 602 tons of CO2e emissions in the past 10 years. Excitingly, we plan to expand our rooftop solar panel installations further in the near future, solidifying our commitment to renewable energy.

Furthermore, since 2024, all the electricity purchased from external providers at PTW comes from certified green energy sources. Based on market-based accounting, this allows us to report zero Scope 2 CO₂ emissions, in line with international standards.

Moreover, our mechanical manufacturing facility in Umkirch exemplifies our commitment to energy efficiency. From planning to construction, we've prioritized sustainable practices. We recycle machine exhaust for heating and have installed photovoltaic modules on rooftops to generate solar energy, enhancing our overall energy efficiency.
