Peter Altmaier: "We will lose if we play climate protection and the economy off against each other"

With the FUTURA, KÜBLER from Ludwigshafen has developed a world first for heating industrial halls. It is an infrared heating system that can process green and fossil fuels highly efficiently - thus building a bridge to the carbon-free era. The company Die Kanter & Schlosser in Trier is the first to put this heating system into operation. Both companies are setting a good example - and thus playing their part in the energy transition.
The guest lecture was given by Verena Hubertz, Member of the German Bundestag. She urged us to tackle what is needed to achieve the climate targets with sense and reason - and raised awareness of the holistic approach. "We need to put the pedal to the metal," says the deputy leader of the SPD parliamentary group, "we need to speed up planning. The clock is ticking. We need to step it up a gear." However, it's not just processes that are needed, "but also people who get to work. We need the most modern immigration law, because skilled workers don't grow on trees. It has to become easier."
In order for the energy transition to work, the Building Energy Act is currently being amended, among other things. She is involved as a member of the building committee in the Bundestag. "What is important to me is that we must not commit ourselves to one technology, but must remain open." Hubertz continues: "Business and politics must pull together. We will do everything we can to ensure that SMEs can continue to move forward with innovative ideas. The FUTURA is one such excellent innovation."
Both political colors agree on this point. "The energy transition needs cross-party support. We will lose if we play environmental protection and the economy off against each other," says Peter Altmaier. "We may have lived well in recent decades, but we have blown so much CO2 into the air that irreparable damage has been done. Those who experiment now will not achieve the 2045 climate target."
Words that Thomas Kübler can only agree with. "We need the multi-layered inventiveness of our German SMEs. We must not concentrate on one technology. Then the pond of innovation will dry up," says the founder and Managing Partner of KÜBLER GmbH. With FUTURA, he is creating a paradigm shift in energy efficiency. After all, only two percent of all buildings in Germany are halls. These halls consume 15% of the building-related energy in Germany and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The new system has been developed for new buildings, but the industry can also use FUTURA to renovate existing buildings without interrupting operations.

The renovation project Since 1994, the halls at the main site in Neuss have been heated with a central hot air system using a gas-powered hot water boiler system, which resulted in high energy costs. In order to achieve the company's own ambitious climate targets and increase efficiency, it was decided in 2021 to convert to a modern, decentralized heating system. In collaboration with the engineering firm Enviconsult, a heat demand analysis was carried out and [...]

The task The well-insulated new hall with an area of around 900 m² and a ceiling height of around nine meters will house storage areas for raw materials, machine parts and end products in addition to production. Christoph Buxbaum answers the question of what requirements he has for the heating of the new hall as follows: "Three simple reasons were decisive. The new building [...]

Green members of the state parliament Dr. Bernhard Braun and Fabian Ehmann at KÜBLER in LudwigshafenLudwigshafen, August 2022 - An important visit to KÜBLER in Ludwigshafen: Dr. Bernhard Braun (Chairman of the Bündnis90/Grünen parliamentary group), Fabian Ehmann (Spokesman for Economy & Start-ups, Europe & One World, Youth and Forest Policy) and Hanna Thiele (personal assistant) met with the Ludwigshafen-based hall heating specialist and hidden champion in the Palatinate. They discussed the currently highly topical issues of the energy transition, energy efficiency, legislation and the questions: "What distinguishes halls from residential buildings, offices or daycare centers? And why do they need special technologies for efficient and low-CO2 heating?"
