Climeworks currently operates the largest plant in Iceland to scrub CO2 directly out of the atmosphere. Dirk Nuber is responsible for the company’s project development. He is looking for locations for further plants and preparing everything so that they can go into operation. Important points include large amounts of renewable energy for the capture process, […]

The short answer is: No, because it does not absorb infrared radiation, like carbon dioxide or methane, for example. But: Hydrogen acts like a climate gas because it contributes to interactions in the upper atmosphere that make it more difficult to radiate energy into space. The current state of knowledge about these phenomena is limited. […]

Forest plantations consist of fast-growing tree species. The seedlings are planted in rows. The preferred plant in Brazil is the eucalyptus. There are now forest plantations on about 10 million hectares. However, the landscape does not resemble an endless monoculture. This is because the forest owners have to convert at least 30 percent of the […]
MehrAt this point, some news of the last few weeks will be addressed which, from GES’ point of view, are reason for hope because they contain building blocks of a possible global solution and / or could help to develop a realistic view of the challenges ahead of us. At the Petersberg Climate Dialogue (PKD), […]

The German energy transition as currently planned will fail. That is the opinion of Fritz Vahrenholt, former senator for the environment in Hamburg. 80 per cent electricity from renewable energies, as planned by the German government for 2030, cannot be achieved. There will not always be wind and the sun only shines during the day. […]

Anyone who believes that batteries will make long-term storage of electricity in the grid possible is mistaken. A solution for bridging dark lulls when the sun is not shining, and the wind is not blowing is not in sight with this technology. But batteries can certainly contribute to stabilising an electricity grid with a high […]

The far-reaching end for cars with internal combustion engines in the EU is in sight. From 2035, no new cars that run on petrol or diesel may be sold. Under pressure from the FDP, however, the German government has managed to get internal combustion vehicles fuelled exclusively with climate-neutral fuels approved as well. An assessment […]
