From the finite nature of resources, which was one of the themes of the 1972 report "The Limits to Growth" by the Club of Rome, to various effects of environmental pollution, such as the forest dieback of the 1980s, the focus of environmental protection challenges has increasingly shifted to climate change.

Limiting the greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere must be at the forefront of responsible shaping of the future. bifa has been contributing to this since the 1990s by initiating and working on projects in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energies. Focal points and examples of the work are:

The heat network projects with waste heat utilisation that we initiated in Meitingen and Weißenhorn in 2015 and have supported to this day, are proving themselves in operation, minimising climate gas emissions and continuing to grow. bifa created numerous other heat network concepts and supported their implementation.

Municipal energy concepts

Bavarian funding for energy utilisation plans has existed for a long time. bifa participated in their conception and prepared numerous studies for municipalities and districts, which were and are the starting point for targeted municipal climate protection action.

Heat and power interconnection projects

Together with the community of Fuchstal and the engineering firm Sing, bifa designed a pioneering project with heat and electricity storage for a regenerative municipal energy supply. bifa is supporting its implementation until 2022. Numerous other concepts for municipal energy supply and interconnection projects were developed.

Hydrogen

bifa provides support in the planning of a regional hydrogen economy. In addition, bifa integrates energy and waste management objectives with the current studies "Potentials of thermochemical hydrogen production from commercial waste" and "Potentials of sector coupling at waste treatment plants".

bifa is ready to continue its high level of expertise and energetic commitment to the challenges of climate protection and to a liveable future.
