News in Every Project

Last Thursday evening, it was that time again for our team: a scenic tour of the town - this time the topic was Joseph Ritter von Hazzi - an Abensberg child. "Joseph Ritter von Hazzi (* February 12, 1768 in Abensberg; † May 20, 1845 at Elkofen Castle) was an administrative lawyer in the Kingdom of Bavaria. He was one of the founders of Bavarian geodesy and the Monatsblatt für Bauwesen und Landesverschönerung in Bayern."

How will the transmission system operators (TSOs) manage to build their power lines across Germany until the final nuclear phase-out? We finally found out this week. At least with the "Südlink", the EU Commission is doing everything it can to ensure that the power line from Schleswig-Holstein to Bavaria is completed in a very short time.

The long wait is over: today we received our first electric car from Autohaus Maschek. Our employees are looking forward to the completely new driving experience and the future of mobility. When it comes to electromobility, we have deliberately opted for German workmanship and for one of our long-standing clients, the VW Group.

Contaminated woodchips harm renewable energies. According to a brand-new study by renowned consultants Roland Berger from May 2017, "the heating transition is in sight". And wood energy is set to play an important role in the future. However, there are always some who think they have to use tricks to get the best out of it for themselves. But at some point it comes out. And then they damage the entire industry. This is because the public does not look at individual cases, but places the eco-heating industry, if not all renewable energies, under general suspicion.

Gammel Engineering GmbH is currently offering a company first aid course for all employees.

Once upon a time. That's how all fairy tales begin. Even the one about the expansion and costs of the electricity and gas grids.

"We want to think more bottom-up, less top-down": this is what Andreas Kuhlmann writes in the introduction to the "Leitstudie Integrierte Energiewende" (Integrated Energy Transition flagship study), which is to be produced by "his" Dena, the German Energy Agency, by the end of 2018. - Well, that's why it's only an "interim summary", which was published on 20 pages recently. But the project's ambition is not entirely unambitious: "It's about more than just a simple coupling of sectors," writes the Dena boss, but about coordinating their "growing number of components and integrating them into an intelligent and sustainable energy system".

Today we were able to celebrate 10 years together in the Gammel family with our employee Martina Sommerer.

Smart, what a word. In the past, there were only smart brokers, slick bankers who pulled money out of their customers' pockets, promised them the blue sky and ran away when storm clouds appeared in the stock market sky. Then came smartphones. Although they are officially intelligent, they often deprive their owners of intelligent thoughts, making them dependent on constantly looking at the screen. And whether it is intelligent to always be available is a question that needs to be asked here.

A British-dominated company perverts Bölkow's legacy Ludwig Bölkow once had a great idea: a solar hydrogen economy was to make solar energy available to everyone in the deserts of North Africa. Generate electricity on a large scale using solar modules; split water into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) in electrolyzers; store the energy carrier in storage tanks and then convert it back into electricity and heat using fuel cells when and where it is needed. That was the idea.

Identification and authenticity - the success factors! It's done - as with every planning project, we worked together as a team to find the best solution. The task: to transform the essence of our company - the Gammel family - into a few entertaining, concise and clear film sequences and to emphasize the content with a distinctive voice.

Successful proof of research in Wildpoldsried - There you go, it works! Someone else said "I didn't know": At the end of August, Wildpoldsried in the Allgäu region was supplied with electricity from renewable energy alone in off-grid operation for the first time.
