Decarbonization of energy generation
Rothe Erde's products are enabling the increasingly efficient use of wind turbines worldwide, making this renewable, sustainable energy source competitive, even against fossil fuels. We are continuously working to ensure that our bearing solutions for wind turbines, and therefore our customers, can contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.
Our decades of involvement in the field of wind turbines and energy generation have made Rothe Erde a reliable and experienced partner to all major wind turbine manufacturers - and have been since the early days of the industry, worldwide. In addition to individual products for all bearing applications in wind turbines, we also offer modularization solutions that can significantly reduce the cost and speed up the expansion of energy generation from renewable sources.
Rothe Erde offers bearing solutions for solar systems that meet the high requirements in terms of corrosion protection, temperature fluctuations and precisely controllable adjustment angles to ensure maximum energy generation. Our products ensure that photovoltaic systems are always optimally aligned with the sun. Our slewing bearings apply the same principle in solar power plants. There, they align the mirrors so that the sun's rays are optimally focused.
Photovoltaic systems and solar power plants focus the power of the sun and convert the resulting heat into electrical energy. In view of the global effects of climate change, the use of the sun as a primary, renewable energy source is an indispensable component in the energy mix. This is the only way to reduce its use and ultimately achieve independence from fossil fuels.
With the help of special power plants, buoys, turbines and other tidal current technologies, the energy generated by the waves and currents of the sea is used as a renewable energy source. The use in the sea exposes the current and tidal power plants as well as the other technologies to high loads in harsh operating environments: on the one hand by the salt water and on the other hand by the enormous current forces of the sea. The tightness and corrosion protection of components and bearings are therefore paramount in the design of the systems to ensure reliable operation. thyssenkrupp rothe erde develops and manufactures robust, high-quality and durable bearing solutions in the tidal power sector that can withstand even the most difficult conditions. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source that will become increasingly important in the coming decades, not least because this type of energy generation is particularly environmentally friendly and sustainable. thyssenkrupp rothe erde is at your side as an experienced and reliable partner from the development of the prototype to series production.
We have long known that fossil fuels are becoming scarce, demand for energy is growing and energy costs are rising. Worldwide. We are developing sustainable solutions to these global challenges. We are working consistently to drive forward renewable energies. For example at Rothe Erde. As a pioneer for key components in wind turbines and as one of the largest producers in the field of slewing bearings, the company specializes in the production of slewing bearings, roller bearings and seamless rolled rings that are used in international industry. This means that we have got the hang of the important wind power industry. With us, you have the chance to become part of something big and make a big impact. For a greener future, for this generation and the next. Are you in?
