klimo app for more climate protection in Kassel

The research project "LESS is more" has launched an app to help citizens save CO2 and promote regional climate protection in Kassel. It was presented on Friday (April 1).

The partners of klimo. In front Prof. Dr. Heike Wetzel.

The klimo app, which was developed by twigbit, Fraunhofer IEE and the University of Kassel (Department Prof. Dr. Heike Wetzel), offers many possibilities to improve one's own behavior after simply recording personal values. The project is led by the House of Energy. The app is now available free of charge in the app stores. Learn more: www.klimo.app

CO2 reduction for more independence

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Birkner, Managing Director of the House of Energy is convinced: "The launch of the klimo app could not come at a more appropriate time. Especially now, due to the tense energy situation resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is important to wisely reduce one's own consumption. This will reduce dependence on energy imports from questionable third countries while addressing climate change. Climate protection and resilience go together. The app is a valuable tool for the climate as well as for more energy security and independence."

Learning and understanding what is feasible

klimo shows Kassel residents directly how muchCO2 emissions they cause privately and makes it clear whatCO2 emissions mean in our everyday lives. The app thus raises awareness of climate protection and provides playful tips on what can be done better.

The klimo app is the centerpiece of the LESS is more research project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection.
