My vision:

Sebastian Poensgen from Priogo: Using all sectors

-

We are already at a point with renewable energies that none of us could have imagined reaching even five years ago. Nevertheless, almost all projects are still thought of in far too one-dimensional a way, each based on a specific type of renewable energy production.
