Short description

The Bock Bio Science GmbH grows and propagates ornamental plants, shrubs and woods. The plant in Bremen produces seedlings all year. Bock Bio Science focuses on new propagations of clone plants and on the installation of bio-technical processes to produce clones in mass production. Thereby, the company develops environmental friendly production and implementation methods. A further aim is to produce endangered species.

Environmental highlights

High efficient insulation, automatically controlled energy efficient lights, wood chip heating, controllable engines and energy-efficient pumps

Green credentials

Klimaschutzbetrieb CO2-20 2009 (climate protection enterprise CO2-20),

Ludvig Svensson Award 2009 - Energiekonzept des Jahres (energy concept of the year)

A summary of environmental achievements

The mix of actions the Bock Bio Science GmbH introduced to reduce its energy consumption contains e.g. high efficient insulation, the replacement of light with more efficient ligts and the installation of electronically dimmable controls. With an efficient regulation system the exactly needed energy is used. A special feature of the installed lights are, that they produce more light than common ones but at the same time produce less heat. Therefore the cooling efforts could be reduced drastically. Further actions were the installation of controllable engines and of energy-efficient pumps. Also their heating is environmental friendly provided by a CO2-neutral wood chip heating.
