Durable bearing solutions in the field of renewable energies

According to IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency), global renewable electricity generation in 2020 was 512 TWh higher than the year before, representing a 7.4% increase.

While fossil raw materials are becoming increasingly limited and therefore more expensive, the demand for energy is growing all over the world. Limited resources, rising energy prices, and in part climate-damaging exploration and use are global challenges for which we at Rothe Erde are continuously working on innovative solutions. Our goal is to decisively advance environmentally friendly solutions as part of the decarbonization of our energy systems. That is why we are ensuring ever more efficient plants around the globe and making them economically competitive with fossil energy sources.

As a broad-based industrial company with many years of expertise in research and development and production, Rothe Erde supplies innovative products, processes, and solutions to meet the world's growing energy needs in an increasingly climate-neutral way. As resilient compact fasteners, our slewing bearings and rings in wind turbines, run-of-river and tidal power plants, and solar installations make a significant and sustainable contribution to protecting the climate and resources worldwide.
