Global Energy Solutions proposes to German politicians that climate-neutral synthetic fuels be added to today’s classic petrol. This is also possible for diesel and heating oil. The blending rate could be 15 percent in 2030. This would be a considerable contribution to achieving the goal of the […]
MehrThe project, for which Global Energy Solutions e.V. was founded, can start on 01.07.2021. The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has approved funding for the research project “Global Energy Perspectives – Development of a Reference Model to Address Global Energy and Climate Challenges”. The project aims to show that there is a […]
MehrThe Wettbewerbszentrale recently criticised several companies, including Aldi Süd, for using the term climate neutrality in a misleading and non-transparent way. Yet this term has been established for many years. Since the Kyoto Protocol of 1997, it has been clear that CO2 emissions caused in an industrialised country can be compensated elsewhere – for example […]
MehrThe Potential Atlas of Green Hydrogen by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) shows almost unbelievable possibilities for energy cooperation between Europe and Africa. According to this, up to 165,000 terawatt hours of green hydrogen can be produced annually in West Africa alone. […]
MehrDas deutsche Klimaziel bis 2030 wird von 55% Reduktion im Vergleich zu 1990 auf 65% erhöht. Seit 1990 sind im energienahen Bereich 40% Reduktion von etwa 1050 Millionen Tonnen CO2 auf 630 Millionen Tonnen CO2 gelungen. Dies war vergleichsweise einfach im Vergleich zu dem seit Ende 2019 – in der ersten Version des Klimaschutzgesetzes – anvisierten 55% […]
MehrProf. Leitner is nominated for the European Inventor Award of the European Patent Office for the development of a new technique for the use of CO2. He is head of “Technical Chemistry and Petrochemistry” at RWTH Aachen University and director at the Max Planck Institute […]
MehrGlobal Energy Solutions comments on the Federal Constitutional Court’s ruling on the Climate Protection Act. The court targets a lack of intergenerational justice and calls on policymakers to take measures that lead to the achievement of the 2°C or better even 1.5°C target. The central element of the argumentation is the so-called budget approach. GES finds […]

Hardly anyone has as much experience with renewable energy in North Africa and the Middle East as Paul van Son. He was the founding managing director of the Desertec Industrial Initiative (Dii) in 2009. Early on, he criticised the focus on exporting electricity from Africa to Europe – as too narrow and too early. First, […]
MehrThe potential of Nature-based Solutions is huge. A reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere by 10 billion tonnes annually is possible. This is confirmed by a publication in the renowned journal nature. Reforestation, rainforest protection or humus formation in agriculture bring positive development effects in the sense of the 2030 agenda and contribute to the […]
