Energy and Climate

Skat seeks to interlink climate protection, renewable energies, community empowerment and poverty reduction through holistic approaches, which facilitate equal access to environmentally sound energy technologies to foster productive and income generating activities.

Skat offers a wide range of services related to renewable energies, energy efficiency and other climate relevant topics with special focus on hydropower, hybrid systems, eco-efficient technologies (e.g. improved brick kilns) and process optimisation. Besides own project development, consulting and engineering services include know-how transfer and capacity building on planning, implementation, operation and management, but also policy and legal advice, concept development and market analysis. Skat brings broad experience in isolated and grid-connected micro, mini and small hydropower systems and exploitation of hydropower in drinking, irrigation and treated waste water systems.

As part of its climate relevant activities, Skat also offers services on process optimisation and eco-efficient technologies. In the wake of the gathering pace of urbanisation Skat’s services related to environmentally sound building materials and improved brick kilns gained importance. Targeting sustainable urban development, Skat is strengthening and extending activities in these climate relevant topics.
