The heating transition in Germany is facing a decisive phase. While the energy sector has made enormous progress in decarbonization in recent years, the building sector remains one of the largest CO₂ emitters.

Heating is one of the biggest expenses in private households - and the trend shows that things are not getting any better. Since 2020, the cost of almost all heating energy sources in Germany has risen massively.

Mannheim, July 21, 2025 – PAUL Tech AG today published its audited single-entity financial statements for the financial year 2024. Through targeted investments in the development of PAUL Net Zero, PAUL Tech has laid the foundation for its new, emission-free Heat-as-a-Service offering.

Mannheim / Warsaw, 14 July 2025 – GTC together with PAUL Tech AG have announced a strategic partnership to sustainably upgrade GTC residential portfolio in Germany. The ESG-driven endeavor will provide climate-neutral heating to nearly 4,800 residential units. GTC is a leading real estate investor and developer with 30 years of experience and strong sustainability credentials. 93% of its portfolio is certified as Green Buildings (LEED, BREEAM, DGNB).

In the context of an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of 24.06.2025 on district heating – with price increases of up to 30 % in major cities such as Hamburg or Frankfurt – a clear focus on decentralized heat pumps as a supplement can be derived from a technical and economic perspective.

Expansion of PAUL Net Zero to become the leading platform for climate-neutral heat supply in existing buildings.

At PAUL, we rely on smart technologies and data-based intelligence - and are very proud to be featured as a practical example in Confluent's new “Data Streaming Guide”.

Water and energy are elementary foundations of life and key levers for sustainable transformation. Today's Environment Day 2025 with the motto “Protecting the value of our water” clearly shows how closely the goals of environmental protection are linked to the actions of innovative technology companies.
