GES Vice-Chair, Prof. Dr Franz Josef Radermacher, is now a member of the new Council of Engineers on the Energy Transition (CEET) of the United Nations Development Organization (UNIDO). The CEET is a highly qualified, global body of energy experts. Radermacher supports the United Nations in developing technical ways to achieve a climate-neutral energy system […]

The EU wants to reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases by 55 percent by 2030 (Fit for 55). Electrolysis hydrogen and renewable fuels play a major role in this. A vote is currently underway on the question of how and under what circumstances these substances may be produced and transported in order to be considered […]

The conclusion: For the desired climate neutrality, Europe will have to import considerable shares of the required energy in the future as well. For distances of a few thousand kilometres, converted or new pipelines will play an important role. Because of the very large energy demand, however, transport as a derivative will also become important […]

According to the current will of the EU Parliament, no more passenger cars and light commercial vehicles with combustion engines may be sold in the European Union from 2035 onwards – which practically is equivalent to a ban. The environment ministers of the EU countries, on the other hand, recently spoke of climate-neutral new cars, […]

Perhaps the most important pilot plant for synthetic fuels, Haru Oni in southern Chile, will start operations at the end of the year. HIF Global has substantially financed and driven the project. Thorsten Herdan sees Haru Oni primarily as a learning project – for the next stages of expansion. He speaks of further production plants […]

In a way, hydrogen is like electricity. You can’t tell by looking at electrons whether they were produced by photovoltaic or coal-fired power plants. Similarly with hydrogen: you can’t tell whether the atoms were produced with renewables. For electricity, there have been corresponding guarantees of origin for a long time. For hydrogen and its derivatives, […]
MehrSynthetic fuels based on climate-friendly hydrogen are an important pillar for meeting the global climate and energy challenges. They can contribute significantly to the reduction of emissions and complete climate neutralisation of the 1.3 billion vehicles with combustion engines worldwide. They can also be used for individual heating and cooling solutions. This was one of […]

The objective of the workshop was to gain an overview of ongoing activities in the CCUS (Carbon Capture Utilization & Storage) field worldwide, especially for developing and emerging countries. The aim was to find approaches on how UNIDO can contribute to accelerating and scaling up the technology.

The conclusion: Only when low- CO2 hydrogen can be produced at comparable prices to grey hydrogen will business models emerge and the market ramp-up accelerate. Until then, state regulation and further investments in the development of this future technology are needed. An important player in the production of electrolysers is China, where production is massively […]
MehrThe cost of electricity from renewable energies and their storage is expected to fall. This is a result of the new GES paper. In addition, the geopolitical situation is changing, new dependencies are emerging.
