GES sees the draft carbon management strategy by Economics Minister Robert Habeck as an overdue step. The world is now also moving towards the GES reference solution in Germany: the “2-pillar electricity system” and “Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage” building blocks are being given the space they need. If 80 per cent of global primary […]

In the European Union, heavy-duty traffic is responsible for about one third of road transport emissions and thus for six percent of CO2 emissions. A crucial question is how climate-neutral trucks can be powered in the future. An excerpt from the study: “In the near future, battery electrics and the provision of electricity via overhead […]

We want to show a way for humanity to achieve a life in freedom with adequate prosperity in social balance, an intact environment and a stable climate system between 2050 and 2070. This is a great ambition. We believe we have shown a possible way forward in our report as part of the Global Energy […]

Flying has become a matter of course for many people. Air transport of people and goods is expected to double or even triple again in the coming decades. In spite of all “flying shame”. Due to population and economic growth, the markets of the future are in India, China and Africa. Alternative forms of propulsion […]

Nature-based solutions for binding CO2 play a decisive role in climate protection. The aim is to preserve, relieve and expand the absorption capacity of the biosphere. In addition to their positive impact on the climate, nature-based solutions have many positive effects in terms of the 2030 Agenda, with the potential to create several trillion US […]

Nitrogen oxides, here mainly nitrous oxide, are the third most important long-lived climate gas after CO2 and methane. The anthropogenic share of total global nitrogen oxide emissions is over 40 per cent. The main source is agriculture. Limiting it is possible, several European countries are already doing it. A background paper by Hans-Jürgen Wernicke.

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 […]

Sustainable and renewable fuels should be taken into account in the EU regulations for road transport! Renowned representatives of the European industry plead for this in an open letter to the EU Commission. GES supports the initiative.

The burning of coal, gas and oil causes the dangerous rise in CO2 levels in the atmosphere that has been going on for decades, leading to warming and climate change. If it were possible to reliably capture the CO2 produced and then dispose of or use it, the world would be one step further. Carbon […]
