If 80 per cent of global primary energy comes from fossil sources, extensive &#8220;decarbonisation&#8221; is illusory in the foreseeable future. Fossil fuel producing countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela and the USA will defend their business models, militarily if necessary. Fossil emissions are the problem, not fossil fuels. Climate neutrality can also be achieved with a proportion of coal, gas and oil. To achieve this, CO2 must be captured and utilised or disposed of. Carbon capture is a game changer.<\/div><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/e7f28bde-43ff-4969-9a24-0c404fbb89c2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/e7f28bde-43ff-4969-9a24-0c404fbb89c2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/e7f28bde-43ff-4969-9a24-0c404fbb89c2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/e7f28bde-43ff-4969-9a24-0c404fbb89c2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/global-energy-solutions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/e7f28bde-43ff-4969-9a24-0c404fbb89c2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Robert Habeck, Federal Minister of Economics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GES sees the draft carbon management strategy by Economics Minister Robert Habeck as an overdue step.
