Off-grid with biogas in Tanzania
Whether for cooking at home or for small agricultural operations, biogas is an affordable energy source that presents no health risk, and is already a firmly established part of Tanzania's off-grid energy supply.
As a partner in the "Smart Biogas Network" project, BayWa r.e. helps to keep plants running and ensure a reliable source of energy that is helping to sustain communities and making a real difference to people’s day-to-day lives. Find out more.

In addition to designing, developing and erecting a 25 kW solar PV system, we have produced teaching material focusing on renewable energy for students and teachers. Find out more about this project.
Fair wind energy in Thuringia
In May 2017, BayWa r.e. was awarded the "Fair wind energy in Thuringia" seal of approval, which is issued by the Thuringia Energy and GreenTech Agency (ThEGA). The seal is evidence of a voluntary commitment to the guidelines for the ethical development of wind energy in Thuringia.

BayWa Foundation
The BayWa Foundation was established in 1998 to initiate and support both national and international sustainable educational projects in the fields of nutrition and renewable energy.
What makes the Foundation special is that 100 percent of all donations flow directly into projects, as BayWa AG covers all of the administration costs. Furthermore, BayWa AG match funds every donation – so each contribution is worth twice as much.
Educational initiatives play a key role in all of our projects. We believe that the only way to enable people to help themselves in the long term, and to give the disadvantaged future-proof development opportunities, is through education.
