Green Energy is sometimes seen as a controversially discussed topic because for some people even nuclear energy is regarded as environmentally friendly. Certified Green Energy with the Austrian Ecolabel is based on circular approaches, renewable energies and sustainable provision of energy. We are sure that will be the better way on the long run.
Go into your own basement and "search" for antiquated heaters there. Then consider how these "corpses" can be disposed of and exchanged for new, climate-friendly heating devices. A new initiative of the Ministry of the Environment calls for this. You can find "help" for tracking down the "climate killers" here.
AND THE WINNER IS: The Upper Austrian Hargassner Ges mbH! In October 2021, it received the State Prize2021 Environmental and Energy Technology in the category "Environment & Climate" for its project "Emission Reduction in Modern Biomass Heating Systems".

Green electricity with the Austrian eco-label consists of 100 percent renewable energy sources and is therefore guaranteed to be free of fossil and nuclear energy sources. It can only be offered by green electricity traders, must contain a minimum proportion of photovoltaics and be made up of biomass, geothermal energy, wind and a limited amount of hydropower. Furthermore, at least 10 percent of the electricity must come from new plants.
For all energy sources, the respective certificates of origin are acquired together with the energy generated and may not be traded separately.
