Content of the article

The starting point is the German climate targets and the question of how companies can change their energy consumption without it feeling like a mere cost factor. The article describes how Lucie Töpfer and Sebastian Kießling founded pyropower to make exactly this easier: the plant supplies electricity and heat, and the biochar generates additional income. The newspaper also reports on the prize in the Lusatian founders competition STAR*PARADE and on production in Cottbus.
