Federal funding: National climate protection initiative
With the National Climate Protection Initiative Since 2008, the federal government has initiated and supported numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Its programs and projects cover a wide range of climate protection activities: from the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment support measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Protection Initiative helps to anchor climate protection locally. Consumers benefit from this, as do companies, municipalities and educational institutions.
CURRENT CLIMATE PROTECTION PROJECTS
The following projects are supported in the Konz municipality:
Replacement of the well pumps in the Wasserliesch well, Albachtal
goal and content Replacing the well pumps of wells III, IV and V. results in an energy saving potential of 21%. In total, around 116,000 kWh of electricity can be saved here per year. This means a reduction in CO2 emissions of around 47 t/a. running time May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2025 involved partners Verbandsgemeindewerke Konz AöR, Schillerstraße 31, 54329 Konz

goal and content By renewing the supply line to a larger size, the pump performance in the Oberbillig pumping station can be reduced and the pressure booster system can be eliminated. This reduces electricity consumption by approximately 58,000 kWh/year (= 53%). This means a reduction in CO² emissions by 24t/year. running time September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026 involved partners Verbandsgemeindewerke Konz AöR, Schillerstraße 31, 54329 Konz
