A new paper by Global Energy Solutions also fits in with Katherina Reiche’s discussion on the “colour theory” of hydrogen. It deals with the production of turquoise hydrogen by means of methane pyrolysis. This process does not produce any CO2. If methane from biogenic sources is used instead of natural gas, even negative CO2 […]

In a study, Oxfam criticises the CO2-intensive lifestyle of the super-rich. According to the study, the wealthiest one percent of the world’s population is expected to account for 16 percent of total CO2 emissions in 2030. The inequality of rich and poor in terms of CO2 emissions should be at the centre of the debate. […]
MehrThe Dii Desert Energy Leadership Forum also witnessed that many solar projects have recently been awarded for an electricity price of little more than 1 cent per kilowatt hour – a dream price a few years ago. Nevertheless, the current increases in raw material costs are clouding the euphoria of those involved. Investors, however, remain […]
