a market share of 0,9 percent. But that is likely to change very quickly in the next five years. The reason for this are two new EU directives. The first specifies specifically how high the CO2 emissions of heavy trucks can still be. Manufacturers must reduce these by 2030 percent by 45 compared to 2020, by 2035 percent by 65 and by 2040 percent by 90. The environmental organization...
While scientists repeatedly criticize that such formulations are far too vague, the G7 refrains from becoming more specific. What remains unclear is: What proportion of CO2 emissions must be captured for coal-fired electricity to be considered “reduced”? Capturing more than 90 percent of CO2 emissions is not possible with today's technology... * University |...

Money. Despite all the prophecies of doom, coal-fired power generation in Germany was a quarter lower in the first year without nuclear power plants than in the previous year. Accordingly, despite the nuclear phase-out, CO2 emissions per kilowatt hour in the German electricity mix fell. Critics had predicted otherwise. The reasons for the balance sheet are varied. In summary, the kilowatt hours lost were completely...
has turned things around in climate protection. What was particularly surprising about the positive climate projection for 2024 presented by Habeck was that Germany not only achieved its goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 2030 percent by 65, but also met the CO2 budget set out for the period by the Climate Protection Act. As every year, the Climate Expert Council is now checking whether this is plausible...

one of the most important metal raw materials in the modern world. But their production is anything but environmentally and climate-friendly: the steel industry is responsible for around seven percent of global CO2 emissions, most of which is released when oxidized iron ores are reduced to metallic iron.

Statistics show that low incomes have little scope for saving because they already consume very little. They cause the lowest CO2 emissions compared to high-income households. It's no wonder that feelings of fear and anger arise here. It cannot be reconciled that emissions from private charter flights or cars traveling at 240 mph are legitimate,...

not, but frustrating. 20 years ago we already knew what to do. A soft landing at the 1,5 degree target could have been achieved by gradually slowing down CO2 emissions. What we need to do now is emergency braking. It's no longer a matter of slowing down elegantly, but of actually coming to a stop in front of the red light. This really requires...
reported. But there is hardly any movement in climate protection: The UN Climate Secretariat reports that the National Self-Commitments (NDC) submitted so far are just enough to reduce CO2 emissions by five percent by 2030 compared to 2019 - in the best case scenario.
