Marius Raabe is an authorised signatory of M&P ENERGY.

He started his professional career in 2009 at the newly founded M&P Osnabrück and has since decisively shaped the office location and the development of the renewable energy department.

In addition to initial activities in water management, remediation of contaminated sites and soil management for large construction sites, he discovered his field of interest in renewable energies while studying technical environmental protection.

His focus is on the planning of geothermal plants and their integration into systems for the heating and cooling supply of buildings and neighbourhoods.

His goal is to make renewable energies so economical through highly efficient systems that they are attractive to the market, and not only for reasons of image and sustainability.
