Into the ground instead of into the atmosphere, that is the principle of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The CO2 produced by industrial processes is captured, concentrated and injected into caverns, for instance. Internationally, this is regarded as a safe method of storing CO2 in an environmentally friendly way. Another method is the injection of […]

Dii Desert Energy is the successor organisation to Desertec. Dii and GES share a similar view of the global energy transition. A quote from the joint paper: “Global Energy Solutions and Dii Desert Energy are not only focusing on green electricity, but also on the conversion to hydrogen and its derivatives. In addition, liquid organic […]
MehrAn excerpt: “We welcome the flexible cycle model pursued by the association, which does not name fossil fuels per se as the core problem, but the burning of these fossil fuels in such way that CO2 is released into the atmosphere. As far as possible this must be prevented. Hence, the focus is on technical […]

The GdW is responsible for around six million rental flats in Germany. By law, these flats must also be heated in a climate-neutral way by 2045. Up to now, the housing industry has mainly relied on heat from interconnected networks and on gas. If more buildings are heated by heat pumps in the future, partly […]

Thomas Unnerstall is an energy consultant, author and member of Global Energy Solutions. In this interview, he outlines the future of the German power and energy system until 2050. After the phasing out of German nuclear power plants this year and the planned shutdown of coal-fired power plants, gas-fired power plants would become increasingly important. […]
MehrRussia’s attack on Ukraine in violation of international law is a historic turning point. After many years of peace, war is once again raging in Europe. The Ukrainian civilian population is suffering, hundreds of thousands are fleeing. The consequences of all this are not foreseeable, neither militarily, nor politically. Energy policy is already reacting, not […]

Global electrolysis capacities are increasing rapidly from very few capacities available today. Europe leads the way in terms of planned projects, followed by Asia and North America. However, there are still considerable hurdles to a broad market ramp-up: high costs for investments and electricity, possible raw material bottlenecks and a lack of standardisation in production. […]

According to the common hydrogen colour theory, green hydrogen is produced by water electrolysis. Only electricity from renewable sources is used in this process. Grey hydrogen is usually produced from natural gas. It is broken down into hydrogen and CO2 by heat (steam reforming). In the process, CO2 is released into the atmosphere. Blue hydrogen […]
MehrWe have updated our website and made it more informative with a clearer design. If you like, take a look! At this point, some news of the last few weeks will be addressed which, from GES’ point of view, are reason for hope because they contain building blocks of a possible global solution and / […]
MehrAt this point, news of the last few weeks are picked up which, from GES’ point of view, give hope because they contain building blocks of a possible global solution and / or help to develop a realistic view of the challenges ahead. The company Tree Energy Solutions (TES) plans a circular CO2-economy between the […]
