Statistisch gesehen haben rund 15 Millionen Heizungen in Deutschland die Altergrenze von zehn Jahre überschritten. Angesichts der über 40 Millionen Haushalte dürfte demnach fast jede zweite Heizung bald gegen eine moderne Heizungsanlage ausgetauscht werden. Das stimmt die Pellet-Branche froh, denn sie rechnt damit, dass viele diese Gelegenheit nutzen und Erdöl und Erdgas den Rücken kehren.
Keine unrealistische Annahme der Branche, wirft man einen Blick auf die steigenden Öl- und Gaspreise. Und auch ein Rückblick auf die vergangenen Jahre untermauert diese These. In den letzten zehn Jahren stiegen die Produktionszahlen für Pellets weltweit um 20 Prozent. Alleine im Jahr 2010 wurden 16 Millionen Tonnen dieses Brennstoffs produziert, bis 2020 wird eine Verdreifachung erwartete.
Der Grund für diesen Boom ist sicherlich der Preis. Denn schon heute ist das Heizen mit [mehr...]

Wood is one of the oldest construction materials, and it is experiencing an unprecedented renaissance in Germany. A low carbon footprint during construction, affordable material costs and an excellent energy efficiency make wooden houses a major champion in the new green consumer market. An interesting player in the wood house business is the Haas Group, a company which is [mehr...]
At present, however, it is elder affluent consumers who dominate the market. They are customers who in the majority of cases already own a house and who are affluent enough to purchase an energy-plus home, which costs more than regular houses. However, the Haas Group is already working on an offering for the mass-market which will be based upon the latest ecological standards and which will be afforable to a broader audience.
While Germany is a key market for the Haas Group, its efforts to market energy-positive houses don’t stop here. “In many cases, we test the product in Germany and then move into other markets. We have launched similar concepts in Swizerland and in Italy.” Other target markets include France, England, Austria, the Tschech Republic, Poland, and increasingly Russland, says Stranzinger.
One of the future key markets is Scottland, where houses are by tradition built in a light-weight manner that consumes large amounts of energy for construction and heating. In the face of the European climate protection goals and rising energy prices, Scottish house buyers are increasingly intersted in construction methods that are low-carbon and energy efficient.
Like most capital-intensive businesses, the enthusiasm of the construction business has been dampered by the financial crisis. However, the revision of the Energy Efficiency Law (EneV) in 2009 gives reason to hope for new momentum, especially in the green building business. The law says that until 2012, energy efficiency in the building sector will need to grow to another 30%. If this legislation is supported by government benefits to house builders, chances are that green building will become the new standard.
The Haas Group will be exhibiting at the Heim & Handwerk trade show in Munich (Hall B3.330/334) from November 27 to December 7, 2008.
