Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

Geonova supports the clean transition of the energy industry by offering solutions that significantly reduce emissions compared to traditional fossil-based heating methods1, such as oil and gas. 

At the same time, we are continuously developing our own operations toward climate neutrality and proactively preparing for the risks posed by climate change.

We see the transition to a circular economy as a key strategy for reducing the overconsumption of natural resources and slowing the loss of biodiversity2.
