Energy for the Future - Reliable, Safe and Environmentally Conscious

Energy for the Future

How does a hard coal fired power station work? Is it possible to secure the energy supply entirely by means of renewable energies? What is the role of biomass in power generation? And what is the electricity tariff actually made up of?

The basis of our power generation are power stations using the fuels hard coal, brown coal, natural gas and oil.

World power consumption

Electricity is to be available at any time and at any place in sufficient quantities. This requires careful coordination because electricity cannot be stored.
