Naturstrom AG

NATURSTROM AG was founded by members of large environmental alliances such as BUND, NABU, BWE and Eurosolar in 1998. One year later Naturstom was the first independent ecological electricity provider on the German market. The goal from the beginning was not only to be able to provide electricity from 100% renewable resources but also to implement them intensively in the construction of new facilities in order to finally shut down the old power plants. In this way, every consumed kilowatt-hour of natural electricity displaces one kilowatt-hour of nuclear and coal power produced in the German power network. Full supply through renewable energies is a central topic in the film project “Energy Autonomy,” which will provide new impetus in the public discussion regarding this topic. In order to realise such an important project, ensuring it receives optimum attention, we support Fechner Media as a sponsor.

Solar energy is the answer to rising energy demand in our society. It is clean, environmentally friendly, well-engineered and is available in unlimited supply. Our vision as GeckoLogic LLC consists of providing this technology of the future to a general public. That which is possible should become reality: a photovoltaic unit for every roof at affordable prices. We have been committed to this goal with our competency and experience since 2002. By now we have 120 employees at 6 locations in Germany making GeckoLogic LLC one of the main providers of photovoltaic systems. A client base of more than 2200 satisfied system owners represents our experience: every Gecko, whether technician, installer or customer service representative is involved with heart and mind. Hence, we are honoured to be in support of a film project on the topic of “renewable energies.”

Since 1975 Kyocera has been engaged in the usage of solar energy for producing of electricity (photovoltaics). The Japanese company has since then achieved a pioneer position in the field of photovoltaics, today it is one of the world's leading manufacturers of innovative polycrystalline PV modules of top quality and high efficiency. The climate change as well as the scarcity of fossil fuels such as oil and gas are two of the most significant problems of the future. Themed »We care« we made it our company's philosophy to access photovoltaics to all inhabitants of this planet. Therefore we actively get involved on all continents, in all cultures and under most different local conditions. »Energy Autonomy – The Code of Survival« shows solutions how energy problems can be solved in an environmentally aware way. Hence, for Kyocera it is no issue to support this unique film project and to take responsibility for our planet earth once more.

Actions, which sharpen the consciousness of renewable energies around the world, are simply worthy of support, because we need a wide-scale entry into a new and sustainable energy future. For us sustainability also means: giving young people an image of what they can achieve in interesting career fields in the area of wind energy. We hope that more and more people will take hold of the possibilities wrapped up in renewable energies. This film can be an important step on this journey.

TAUBER-SOLAR

Without information and education, renewable energies are only half as valuable. We very much welcome this project and support it without reservation. With intelligence and enthusiasm, people are always capable of more than first meets the eye. As a result, long-term scenarios can always be far exceeded in cases where these factors are not part of the calculations. We are confident that this film project will not only move the energy turning point forward but also benefit all of humanity.

IBC SOLAR AG has been exclusively active in the photovoltaic sector since its founding in 1982. At this time the IBC Corporation with numerous subsidiaries in Europe and Asia services the world market with high-powered systems of all sizes – from the roof on a single-family home to a large scale solar project. So far more than 250 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic power have been delivered worldwide through tens of thousands of solar power units. “The film is a platform for us to reach people. It helps us to activate the re-thinking process in people as well as motivate the consumer to choose renewable energies. It is important that we pursue this together – the film allows us to join forces.”(Udo Möhrstedt, CEO IBC Solar AG)

Energy is the biggest challenge we are facing today. Do we want to leave the coming generations nuclear risks, catastrophic climate problems and a world without resources or the option of setting up a life with “new energy?” Energy hunger is on the rise worldwide and there is war for oil. More than ever there is a decision to make between a civilization dependent on a few fading raw material reserves and one whose life energy is decentralized and derived from regenerative resources. This choice is of existential significance for us all. OSTWIND has started the journey using wind – in the meantime beyond Germany into a new Europe, where, by 2020, energy will be won from the earth, taken from the sky and extracted from the water.

We produce nuclear free energy with our own block style thermal power station at the Ritter Sport production plant in Waldenbuch, and we also have solar plants on the roofs of some of the company's buildings. In the building housing the museum, located near the production plant, geothermal power, among other types of energy, is utilized. One of the companies I have successfully established is Paradigma, which develops and distributes energy and environmental technology for ecological heating and housing technologies. The critical point for me was the Chernobyl catastrophe. As a result I am a founding member and board chairman for “Solar-Fabrik” in Freiburg. (Alfred Ritter)
