Here you have a direct view of the peat extraction. The peat is drained through the furrows and the peat obtained provides energy for industry. Today peat extraction is viewed critically, as it has a negative effect on the water table and the stability of the surrounding houses. Lower Saxony's policy is now pursuing the goal of abandoning peat extraction in the long term and developing climate-friendly alternatives.
