Transforming urban buildings into clean energy plants is essential for addressing the climate crisis and fostering sustainable cities. Since 2010, urban areas have used over 75% of global electricity, primarily from fossil fuels, highlighting the urgent need for renewable energy. Solar energy has emerged as a key player due to its scalability and accessibility, especially in European cities that encourage solar panel installations. Large urban complexes offer vast roof spaces suitable for solar energy generation, and initiatives like Holcim's roofing systems aim to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints.
Transforming urban buildings into clean energy plants is a powerful strategy to combat the climate crisis and promote resilient, sustainable cities.
Since 2010, cities have been responsible for over 75% of global electricity use met historically by fossil fuels, so urban solar potential is critical.
Policies in European cities promote solar panel installations, with leaders like Copenhagen combining solar roofs with energy storage solutions for carbon neutrality.
Holcim's Elevate brand emphasizes the opportunity to maximize energy efficiency with solar roofs, reducing carbon footprints and enhancing energy independence.
