WHAT IS CLIKIS?

Climate-friendly and energy-efficient kitchens in schools

The project "CLIKIS - Climate and energy-efficient kitchens in schools" aims to contribute to climate protection and show how energy-efficient cooking can be achieved in school kitchens. School meals are a sensitive area: not only should they be cooked in a healthy, accessible way for children, but also the food for students should be of high quality. With the CLIKIS project, we want to balance these requirements with climate protection requirements.

Background of the project

The EU's goal is to reduce emissions by at least 40 percent by 2030 and 80 to 95 percent by 2050, primarily by expanding renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency. "Nutrition" is of comparable importance for the climate as other energy-intensive areas of "housing" or "mobility". But unlike a car's fuel gauge or gas and electricity consumption, the climate effect of our food is not directly observable or visible. The impact of the climate consists of many direct and/or indirect factors such as the clearing of rainforests for livestock or soybean cultivation, methane emissions from ruminants, the cold chain, the use of artificial fertilizers, the amount of waste or the transport route of food products. .
