100 percent renewable power for our buildings

As Deutsche Bahn, we already offer millions of passengers climate-friendly mobility with our trains. At the same time, we aim to become increasingly sustainable as a company. We have set ourselves the goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040. Increasing the proportion of renewable power is a key element on this path.

By 2038, we will switch all DB traction power to renewable energy. In electrified DB long-distance services, our passengers already travel with 100 percent renewable power in Germany. And since 2025, we have also been operating all of our stations, maintenance depots, office buildings and facilities throughout Germany with renewable power. This also includes signal boxes, point heating systems and track area lighting, for example. 

We began converting the power supply to our buildings and facilities to renewable power back in 2019. Initially, 33 stations were converted to renewable energy supply, including our 15 largest stations such as Berlin, Munich, and Cologne. We have taken the next step towards climate neutrality by supplying all stationary plants with renewable power since 2025.
