With "plusGas", VERBUND is offering the first climate-neutral gas for private customers in all of Austria

04.11.2014Vienna

VERBUND is broadening its product range. The climate-neutral product "plusGas" allows private customers to heat and cook in a sustainable way in future. In this way, VERBUND will be the first energy service provider in all of Austria to offer climate-neutral gas and electricity from 100% Austrian hydropower from a single source.

Carbon neutrality inspected by TÜV Nord

CO2 emissions result from the production and utilisation of gas. In order to nevertheless be able to heat and cook with gas in a carbon-neutral way, the resulting emissions must be again reduced by the same extent. At plusGas, the emissions generated through the use of natural gas are reduced through the production and development of renewable energies - as is the case in the Ashta hydropower plant in Albania, for example. Each new plusGas customer is therewith actively promoting environmental protection. This is officially confirmed by TÜV Nord, a renowned, independent inspection agency from Germany.
