Young Energy Europe

Young Energy Europe is a DIHK project funded by BMWK that trains young "Energy Scouts" in energy and resource efficiency to implement projects within their companies.

Participation is worthwhile! It's not just the Energy Scouts who benefit from the expertise they acquire over the course of the project. There are also significant advantages for the companies: By implementing the projects developed by the participants, they can sometimes achieve savings in the 5-digit range with an outlay of just a few hundred euros - and contribute to climate protection at the same time. A win-win for everyone involved!

Benefits

for companies

for trainees

  • Reduce energy costs
  • Reduce CO2 footprint
  • Attractive training opportunities
  • increased energy efficiency
  • more independent employees
  • Project development
  • Contribution to climate protection
  • Acquisition of an AHK qualification
  • Recognising potential savings
  • Independent thinking

Topic

Energy efficiency - resource efficiency - company mobility

During the training, the prospective Energy Scouts learn about the most important topics relating to energy and resource efficiency as well as company mobility. They learn where companies often use resources inefficiently and how this inefficiency can be recognised and measured. With the help of the experts, the participants can develop energy efficiency projects in a wide range of areas such as compressed air systems, system optimisation, heat consumption, thermal insulation, etc. and help to reduce unnecessary costs.

Overview of the Young Energy Europe Projects

  • Young Energy Europe 3.0 2024

    In 2024, a total of 33 "Energy Scouts" from 23 companies in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania took part in the Young Energy Europe training program and identified potential savings in their companies. The identified improvement measures were translated into projects that can save significant amounts of CO₂ per year when implemented.
