Biofuels from vegetable oils: New GES paper

4. November 2022

Hydrogenated vegetable oils are considered the new generation of biofuels. Unlike biofuels produced from rapeseed or maize, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (HVO) do not compete with food production (plate-tank problem). After all, they are produced from waste materials such as cooking oil residues. The global market for used oils and fats ranges between 50 and 80 […]

Climate neutrality for the global fleet of cars and trucks: it won’t work without e-fuels

4. November 2022
,

From 2035 on, only new cars that do not emit greenhouse gases are to be sold in the European Union. Electric cars are thus set and the use of e-fuels is being examined. From GES’ point of view, not only a European but also a global solution is needed. E-fuels are an important building block […]

In 2002, Urs Weidmann founded the Silent-Power AG in Switzerland. He wants to help the methanol industry achieve a breakthrough, develop a CO2-neutral value chain and expand his company into an energy service provider. For Weidmann, methanol, not hydrogen, is the ideal synthetically produced energy carrier. He has been convinced of this for 40 years. The entrepreneur relies on the fundamental findings of George A. Olah, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1994. Now, the hour of practice has come for Weidmann.

Do resource bottlenecks endanger the energy transition?

7. October 2022
,

An electric motor requires different raw materials than a combustion engine: for example, rare earths for powerful magnets. In order to generate and use energy, the global energy transition requires a significantly different raw material base than the fossil age. The transition may lead to a wide variety of supply bottlenecks in the coming years. […]
