The role of fuels on the road to climate-neutral mobility

6. July 2024

The idea that “everything new” in the mobility sector could be made all-electric is far from reality. Rather, the switch to lower-emission drives will take decades. This applies in particular to long-lasting means of transport such as ships, aircraft and lorries. In the case of cars, it will probably come down to the coexistence of […]

The advantages of HVO: The fuel can be used immediately. And it can be used within the existing infrastructure: vehicles, filling stations, logistics, etc. HVO is also a climate-friendly solution for trucks that are hardly suitable for electromobility. If HVO were to replace five to ten percent of fossil diesel in Germany, 4.5 to nine […]

The study by GES and FAWn for Viebrockhaus states: “Taking into account other areas of use, wood will make a contribution to climate adaptation – but avoiding 10 per cent of today’s CO2 emissions will probably already be a lot. This has to do with the enormous building volumes that will have to be realised […]
