48 wind turbines turning for DB
A
further 15 wind turbines have been turning
in Lower Saxony since the beginning of
March, exclusively for DB. The EWE Windservice
wind farm in Emden will supply 36 gigawatt /
hours (GWh) of electricity to the DB Energie network
per year. This increases the total amount that
DB obtains from wind energy by a third to 48 wind
turbines, with annual production of around 140 GWh.
This is equal to the amount of electricity used by
28,000 four-person households and gives a CO 2 saving
of 82,000 tonnes.
In comparison with 2011 alone, DB Energie increased
the proportion of renewable energies in the
rail power mix in 2012 by 2.2 per cent to 24 per cent.
DB Schenker Rail customers can buy completely
CO 2 -free transport within Germany. For the Eco Plus
product, DB buys in the necessary additional electricity
from renewable sources. By 2020, the rail power
mix is set to contain at least 35 per cent green electricity.
All BahnCard holders travelling long distance
within Germany have already been doing so on 100
per cent renewable energy since April. ok
