Empowering Tomorrow: Airborne Wind Energy Systems Bring Clean Energy Anywhere 🏝️⛰️ To make green energy more accessible for everyone and easier to implement, even in the most remote locations, we seamlessly integrated a simpler process of transport and installation - and here's how: 💨🪁 Our airborne wind energy systems are compact in size, so they can be transported to even challenging terrains previously deemed inaccessible for other ways of renewable energy creation. From towering mountains to distant islands, our system arrives ready to make an impact. 🏝️⛰️ But that’s not all - the compact design of our system utilizes fewer materials and eliminates the need for deep foundations in the ground. With our system, we're not just reducing carbon footprints; we're shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.

🌍 Earth Overshoot Alert! 🚨 At SkySails, we are deeply commited to combating climate change as one of the greatest challenges of our time. On May 2, Germany exhausted its annual allotment of resources, as reported by Germanwatch. We are now living off the resources of other countries and future generations. If everyone lived like we do in Germany, we would need three Earths! 🌏🌏🌏 These calculations signal an urgent need for transformative solutions and should be a call to action for all of us. The energy transition is one puzzle piece in reducing emissions and ensuring a healthier, more sustainable world. As purpose-driven company, we're proud to be at the forefront of this revolution with pioneering airborne wind energy and replacing fossil fuels around the globe. Yet, sustainability requires collective action. Businesses, policymakers, and individuals must unite to combat climate change. Together, let's create a livable future for all! 🌱💨 #EarthOvershootDay #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #SkySails

A quick visit in Klixbüll - The first home of onshore airborne wind energy 🌬️ This spring, we achieved a significant milestone by creating the first verified power curve for airborne wind with our system in Klixbüll, Northern Germany! With 5 years of continuous operation, the Klixbüll site is the longest-running airborne wind system in the world! 🌍 Last week, SkySails founder and CEO Stephan Wrage was a guest at the public forum in Klixbüll, the home of our first site. He discussed the potential of airborne wind, our latest achievements, the company, and our mission. Klixbüll holds a special place in our hearts. Stephan Wrage also highlighted the outstanding support we have received from the citizens and administration of Klixbüll, and politicians from across Schleswig-Holstein. Innovation thrives with the support of brave and open-minded people. Thanks to the favorable conditions in Klixbüll, airborne wind will take off from Northern Germany to the world! 🚀 #SkySails #AirborneWindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction 

🌟Stephan Wrage is featured by Hamburg Invest as their Innovator of the Month! 🎉 We know Stephan as persistent and truly dedicated to tackling climate change through airborne wind energy. Starting from a rough idea in his youth of using the powerful and constant wind at high-altitudes for sustainable purposes, he now has the back of a huge team that pushes renewable energy solutions forward everyday. Congratulations to Stephan and a shoutout to the entire SkySails team! Together, we can make a difference! 💪 #SkySails #AirborneWindEnergy #HamburgInvest #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #Sustainability #Innovation 

We are extremely happy to announce that the German parliament just passed a law integrating airborne wind into the Renewable Energy Act (EEG). This legislative milestone reflects the government's recognition of airborne wind energy's enormous potential in advancing climate goals and accelerating the energy transition. 🎉 Key updates include support for onshore systems without the need for site assessment and a fixed feed-in tariff. This boosts investment security, accelerates R&D, and enhances industry visibility. 🚀 Airborne wind energy emerges as a game-changer in renewables, with Germany leading the charge - and we are here for it! 🌍💨 #SkySails #AirborneWindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Germany #ClimateAction
