Sustainable
energy solutions
In order to hit climate targets and significantly reduce CO2 emissions, it is essential to implement them throughout the energy sector.
More informationOnly through cross-sector cooperation between companies in energy production, electricity and gas infrastructure, and industrial operations can we succeed in developing a sustainable energy system and significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
After all, Austria and Europe need not only clean and efficient energy for electricity, heat and mobility, but also at the same time a maximum of security of supply with flexibly available energy in large quantities and capacities.
Safe Plants
and work processes
We are convinced that the energy transformation can only succeed if security of supply is guaranteed. Highly developed gas infrastructure, including storage facilities, means that enough energy is always available.

Protecting the climate is the core focus of a sustainable energy system. We want to make a significant contribution to the success of the European Union’s Green Deal initiative by developing and implementing projects related to environmentally friendly energy storage.

The future interests me far more than the past, as I intend living in
it.

Health at work
Workplace health promotion is a high priority for our company and a core element of our HSE management system.
Climate neutral operations by 2040
A core aspect of RAG’s sustainable energy mining concept is using production sites to produce renewable energy (such as photovoltaic power). RAG is converting well sites into solar energy sites.
Environmental Protection
Together with safety, environmental protection and responsible stewardship of Austria’s natural resources are paramount in all of our activities and work processes.
Sustainable procurement
To help raise awareness of sustainability-related factors in the supply chain, we want to invite stakeholders to participate in a sustainability dialogue and discuss potential solutions with us.
Strategy – strong focus on sustainability
Sustainability lies at the heart of RAG’s energy operations. And it is the guiding principle for our initiatives aimed at shaping the future energy landscape, a landscape that will be climate-friendly, technologically open and networked. Achieving this transformation will call for major efforts from all stakeholders, from businesses and politicians, as well as consumers.

We consider ourselves part of the communities in which we operate our facilities because of our ties to the regions in which we operate, some of which go back decades.
