Climate protection and energy efficiency in the industrial area

Green Industry Park

The "Green Industry Park Freiburg" (GIP) initiative was launched in 2014 with the idea of further developing Freiburg's oldest and largest industrial area, the Industrial Park North, in a process-oriented manner into a forward-looking, sustainable, energy- and resource-efficient industrial area with a nationwide model character. The initiative has since been extended to the Industry Park Hochdorf and has become a programmatic framework for climate protection in companies. Committed companies have become drivers, regular workshops including company visits to innovative neighboring companies have multiplied ideas and provided contacts.
In general, the aim is the joint development of new, innovative projects and model projects as well as the identification and use of savings potential, cooperation and optimization opportunities in the field of environmental and climate protection.

With the project of an emission-free heat supply within the framework of the GIP, Freiburg is one of the winners in the competition "Climate Active Municipality 2018". The award was given for the climate-friendly energy supply of a commercial and industrial area.

The “Green Industry Park” concept is now to be expanded to other industrial areas in Freiburg, starting with the industrial area of Hochdorf.
