In this interview, Hans Jürgen Wernicke (GES) explains the technical possibilities for making the various modes of transport as climate-friendly as possible.
Around 95 per cent of all means of transport – cars, lorries, ships and aircraft – are currently powered by fossil fuels, most of which are based on crude oil. This makes the mobility sector the second largest emitter of CO2 , behind the electricity and heating sectors. CO2 emissions are produced by millions and millions of vehicles in just as many places, i.e. they are diffuse. Reducing them is a task that is as important as it is difficult.
