We are working on solutions for how the world can achieve a state of climate neutrality and how all people can lead a life of adequate prosperity. This is happening in a situation in which political uncertainties and military tensions are increasing worldwide and Germany is struggling with major collateral damage from the energy transition. Sustainable alternative solutions and orientation are a valuable asset, especially today.
Global Energy Solutions (GES) focuses on climate and energy. Energy is the key to prosperity and development. A peaceful future for a growing world population can only succeed with energy and sufficient prosperity for all people.
GES provides orientation knowledge for society, business and politics. We develop concrete perspectives for companies in an ever faster changing world.
GES is a think tank: fact-based, open to technology, politically independent and focussed on the common good. Our focus: global (with contacts in the UN) and German-European.
We are happy to engage in in-depth dialogue.
Our vision: A climate-neutral energy system for ten billion people in the near future. They should live in freedom, prosperity and peace with nature. GES has shown how the global climate targets can be achieved - while increasing prosperity in developing and newly industrialising countries. We think globally and derive specific recommendations for European and German energy policy.
More than 80 percent of global energy today comes from coal, gas, and oil. A completely renewable and electric energy system (All Electric) is a distant dream. Time is pressing. Therefore, we must immediately utilize all climate-neutral and safe energy sources: Renewables, Fossil fuels with CO2 capture (Carbon Capture), and Nuclear energy – ALL IN! instead of All Electric. Climate neutrality can only be achieved pragmatically, open to technology, and together – in a symbiosis of technology and nature.
Whether we get climate change under control will not be decided in Germany or Europe, not even in the USA, but in China, India, and Africa. Growing ruthlessness and nationalism do not change the fact: A solution to the climate problem is only possible through global cooperation. Climate nationalism is a dead end.
ALL IN! relies on a stable power system. It is essential for the industry and thus for prosperity. However, wind and solar cannot always deliver. Today’s electricity storage systems are either too small or too expensive. Therefore, the volatility of PV and wind power plants must be compensated by affordable and reliably controllable energy. We need a power system based on two pillars.
ALL IN! relies on Carbon Capture, for example, for fossil gas power plants in the power system. Fossil emissions are the problem, not fossil energy sources. This provides an opportunity to utilize the advantages of coal, gas, and oil for a longer time—without additional climate impact. Carbon Capture is a game changer.
ALL IN! relies on climate-friendly fuels. In addition to electricity (electrons), the mobility sector especially requires large amounts of liquid and gaseous climate-friendly fuels (molecules). For ships and airplanes, there is no alternative. Fully electrifying the global fleet of nearly 1.6 billion cars and trucks is an illusion.
ALL IN! relies on a stable resource base. For example, electricity storage requires large amounts of raw materials that are not sufficiently available worldwide—such as for batteries. The long-term goal is extensive recycling of resources.
ALL IN! relies on Nature-based Solutions, particularly the protection of rainforests, large-scale reforestation, and soil improvement. The CO2 absorption capacity of plants, soils, and oceans already helps us tackle the climate problem today. About one-third of human-caused emissions are absorbed by nature. And this can be further increased.
ALL IN! relies on global cooperation and a quadrupling of the gross domestic product of developing and emerging countries. Significant efforts are necessary to ensure that the desired growth processes do not conflict with ecological support systems and particularly the climate system. Solving the climate problem is not possible without substantial co-financing from North to South. This requires supportive governance.
