Over 100 guests came together in Berlin on July 9, 2025 to discuss the GEG, EPBD and the role of mechanical engineering in the building and heating transition. The focus: technology-open, practical solutions for implementation in partnership.

The 6th edition of the VDMA Technology Guide Oil Gas Petrochemicals with focus on Net-Zero Solutions for energy-intensive Industries. Are you among the Who's Who of European process technology suppliers?

A lack of new buildings, stalled refurbishment projects and rising costs are making the transformation of existing buildings towards climate neutrality more difficult. Viable concepts and a simplification of construction and approval practices are needed.

This was the motto of the VDMA Energy Networking Day held in Frankfurt on May 7 and 8. Around 80 members from several trade associations came together to discuss strategically relevant issues relating to energy and climate policy.

The amendment to the German Federal Emission Protection Ordinance (4th BImSchV) by the German legislator brings clarity and relief both for the placing on the market of smaller electrolysers below 5 MW and for large-scale plants.

Buildings make a significant contribution to energy consumption and CO₂ emissions. Energy-efficient buildings can drastically reduce these emissions. Outdated heating systems and inefficient technology lead to a considerable waste of energy.

On April 18, 2023, the German cabinet presented a draft law to increase energy efficiency and amend the Energy Services Act. An overview of the current status.

Companies that want to modernize processes and invest in electricity and heat efficiency benefit from various - even lesser-known - funding opportunities at the federal and state levels.

Climate-neutral production is a challenge along the entire value chain and occupies many companies. For this reason, the VDMA has now published a practical guide for the mechanical and plant engineering sector.
