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 […]

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 […]

An excerpt: A prosperity-compatible energy and climate strategy for the world with an outlook to the year 2050 and a population of ten billion people requires – also proportionally – a multiple of today’s amount of climate-friendly electricity. This will be generated in various ways: old and new methods of using renewable energies, fossil energy […]

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 […]

An excerpt: Synthetic fuels based on low carbon H2 form a third pillar of any viable solution to the world’s future energy and climate problems, alongside climate-friendly electricity and climate-friendly hydrogen. They are of great importance to climate-neutral mobility in the future. Such fuels have great advantages in terms of transportability, storage capacity and use […]
