F\u00f6rderung erneuerbarer Energien <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Das EKOenergie-Label dient als Instrument zur F\u00f6rderung der Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien. Die wachsende Nachfrage nach EKOenergie-gekennzeichneter Energie steigert unsere Sichtbarkeit und erm\u00f6glicht es uns, immer mehr Menschen, Organisationen und Unternehmen zu erreichen, darunter auch verschiedene Akteure des Energiesektors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Unser stetiges Wachstum weckt zunehmend das Interesse gr\u00f6\u00dferer Unternehmenskunden. Dadurch erhalten wir viele Gelegenheiten, unseren Aufruf f\u00fcr eine Welt, die zu 100\u202f% mit erneuerbarer Energie versorgt wird, zu wiederholen und die Bedeutung der Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energiequellen im Einklang mit der Natur hervorzuheben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ihr Verbrauch von EKOenergie-gekennzeichneter Energie verst\u00e4rkt die positiven Auswirkungen, die EKOenergie jedes Jahr erzielt. Informationen \u00fcber die konkreten Ergebnisse, die wir dank der Nutzer und Anbieter von EKOenergie erreichen, finden Sie auf unserer Climate Fund-Seite<\/a> oder in unseren aktuellen Newslettern<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contributing to market development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the aspects covered by our criteria<\/a> is the reliable tracking<\/a> of energy and the avoidance of double counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage existing tracking instruments and systems to collaborate or coordinate to avoid double tracking and simplify processes for local and international energy consumers. In countries where there are no established markets for energy attribute tracking, EKOenergy promotes dialogue among relevant parties and shares information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the years, EKOenergy has contributed to the development of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Scope 2 Guidance and to the activities of a few working groups of IRENA Coalition for Action. We were among the first to promote renewable energy deals in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and the first I-REC-based renewable energy purchase in China was EKOenergy-labelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging leadership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging leadership and speeding up the energy transition are important aspects of our work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By choosing EKOenergy-labelled energy, consumers not only go the extra mile but also help us pave the way for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By choosing EKOenergy-labelled renewables in countries where buying renewable energy is not common yet, consumers have made it easier for us to get in touch with local energy companies as has been the case in countries such as India, Brazil, and China. This contributes to making green contracts more accessible to all consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mature renewable energy markets, opting for an additional quality label is an important signal too. It helps to garner interest in topics relevant to our ecolabel among a growing number of energy companies and consultants and urges them to make EKOenergy more accessible for their clients too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our publication One Tool to Cover Five Dimensions of Leadership in the Transition to 100% Renewable Energy<\/a> explains how using EKOenergy contributes to the 5 dimensions of leadership, regardless of the size or sector of businesses and illustrates this with concrete user cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising awareness for consumer empowerment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the ways we promote the use of renewables is by sharing information. Our focus is on positive steps: EKOenergy amplifies every step in the right direction, big or small. We encourage consumers to choose renewables and build on that choice, adding extra positive impact. This way we raise awareness and empower consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EKOenergy has joined processes such as the consultations on the LEED Green Building Standard\u2019s criteria regarding renewable energy use, and we also prepared courses about green electricity use for LEED. We have joined Climate Action Network Europe’s campaigns and activities to promote the use of renewables and we are in contact with CDP and the RE100 regarding technical criteria for the sourcing of renewable energy by large corporate consumers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at conferences and webinars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EKOenergy is open to cooperation with sector events and campaigns. We have spoken and moderated sessions at various conferences to reach an international audience. We often share information in one-on-one online meetings with energy consumers, speak at events, join and enact communication campaigns and organise meetings with other market stakeholders to reach more consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
