Syneco supports smartlab in the positive development of the economic viability of sustainable mobility solutions, enabling the municipal utilities to generate additional income. Both electricity from public charging stations and gas from natural gas filling stations can be traded. The aim of the service offering is to make marketing as uncomplicated and transparent as possible for the municipal utilities. "We are delighted that the more than 200 ladenetz.de municipal utilities now have the opportunity to generate additional income," says Dr Mark Steffen Walcher, Managing Director of smartlab. This works by Syneco taking over the contractual and operational handling of quota trading for the municipal utilities and tendering the greenhouse gas reduction quotas to third parties on a bundled basis.
