co2online – a network to protect the climate
As a non-profit organization co2online is campaigning for climate protection and advises consumers since 2003 on how to save energy and thereby reduce CO2 emissions.
co2online provides online advisory tools which help consumers to assess their energy consumption, both with regard to electricity and heat. By means of these advisory tools we increase the capacity of consumers through giving them feedback on their energy consumption. In addition co2online provides information on how to lower this energy consumption and thereby reduce CO2 emissions.
The options we offer to customers range from tips how to change the everyday behavior to undertaking retrofits. Wherever investments are suggested, pay-back times in reference to the given energy consumption are provided. Besides protecting the climate, consumers usually also reduce their energy bills when implementing the given suggestions.
In its endeavor and vision to protect the climate, co2online cooperates with more than 900 partners and currently provides advice to more than 10,000 consumers per week.
co2online frequently updates its advisory tools to incorporate new developments, e.g. legislation or governmental loan programs.
Climate Seeks Protection
The projects of the "Climate Seeks Protection" campaign provide information on climate protection and motivate private households, trade and commerce to become actively involved in climate protection – and to save money at the same time. The projects are carried out by the non-profit co2online gGmbH and are co-funded by the German Environment Ministry. more
