Due to an increased emphasis on green energy, a solar power plant was built. This source of energy generates a sizable portion of our electricity. The entire plant produces 6 kW on average during sunshine hours.

The entirety of Skærsøgaard’s, including affiliated houses, heating demands are covered by a woodchip heating system, instead of oil or public district heating. The system produces up to 200 kW and is supplied by trees from the neighbouring forest. These trees are removed as a result of “thinning”; a common and somewhat natural process which seeks to increase the resistance of the forest to environmental stress.

In order to reduce our plastic consumption, we use biodynamical chips in the packaging of orders. These chips are made from corn starch and are thus completely biodegradable upon contact with liquids.
