The exhibition was organized by The Climate Group in collaboration with the British Council.

TheCompensators*
TheCompensators* is an initiative providing access to the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) for individuals and companies that wish to participate voluntarily. The purpose is to decrease the number of emission permits available on the markets by deleting emissions allowances (EUAs). By joining the system, individuals and interested businesses provide implicit support for an effective climate policy, push for emission reductions and, by increasing the cost of carbon, contribute to a faster deployment of climate neutral technology.
Information on the Solar Lab Berlin
The Solar Lab offers a diverse range of experiments and information geared to schools as well as interested individuals and international visiting groups. The ideas for the experiments in the Solar Lab developed from work with solar performances - art happenings in public space which transform the sunlight in a variety of ways and invite visitors to interact. Christoph Huth, initiator of the Solar Lab, will provide information on the project.
Sound Installation, Thomas Gerwin: "Soundscape No. 16 - Entree" (2006)
Production: KlangQuadrat. büro für klang- und medienkunst berlin. The EnergieForum's glass entrance tunnel is transformed by sound artist Thomas Gerwin into a sound landscape full of atmospheric allusions. The virtual space created by the sounds and the light changes continually, at times concrete, at times diffuse. It breathes and whispers unintelligible messages.

The Solar Café, with its rolling ice cream and cocktail bar, will be on the premises as enercity® Icy Rider. It was introduced by Sepp Fiedler in 1992 and communicates the extraordinary possibilities for a sustainable lifestyle with typical products such as the Icy Rider.
