MEP Jens Gieseke and CDU district chairman André Hüttemeyer were able to get an impression in Holdorf of how steel is hot-dip galvanized, in which fields of application it is used and why it is an enabler of the energy turnaround. The Seppeler Group is keen to make its contribution to climate protection and to produce sustainably. Hot-dip galvanized steel is used in wind turbines, solar installations and in the automotive industry. It is durable, recyclable and reusable.
The aim of the exchange was to describe, from the perspective of a family business, the consequences of the European Green Deal and energy policy. Nina Seppeler, Managing Director of Seppeler Holding und Verwaltungs GmbH & Co KG, criticized the inconsistent rules in European energy and climate policy. Especially for medium-sized companies that really want to actively pursue climate protection, the Green Deal is not really tangible and the contents incomprehensible. "It's irritating, isn't it, that we have the goal of a uniform internal market, but only in Germany there is a CO2 levy in force for process-related emissions?"
