2015. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a large part of the existing fossil energy reserves may no longer be mined and burned if the goal is to be achieved - specifically: 80 percent for coal and natural gas, 30 percent for petroleum. A lot more of it would have to stay in the ground if 1,5 degrees is the goal. The new IPCC boss Jim Skea recently pointed this out. The energy companies...

a classic vicious circle. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and is released, among other things, during the anaerobic breakdown of organic material in soils, marine sediments or water bodies. The gas can also escape from natural gas and gas hydrate deposits underground. But some of these potential methane sources are still blocked: the permafrost and ice sheets of the polar regions...

makes up. It was a difficult compromise: After long discussions, the federal government has defused its Building Energy Act (GEG), which was originally supposed to ban the installation of pure oil and natural gas heating systems next year. Now the regulation should only take effect where there are municipal heating plans. While the federal government has set a deadline of 2028 for its development...

State Secretary Graichen is retiring and Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck is under pressure. The Building Energy Act is still highly controversial with its goal of no longer installing new natural gas and oil heating systems from the end of the year.

Newsletter XIX 2023 - May 7-13 - News+ Is the West turning Ukraine into a nuclear battlefield?
from the perspective of the fossil and nuclear economy, the shift towards the expansion of renewable energies has already been brought about. The climate-damaging energy companies from the oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear sectors have become too accustomed to the downturn in the expansion of renewable energies that took place under Chancellor Merkel and thus saw their business models protected. Those under criticism...

In order to get the sectors on track, the FDP now wants to bring forward emissions trading. Since 2021, there has been a fixed CO2 price in both areas in Germany. Companies that distribute gasoline, diesel, natural gas or heating oil must purchase CO2 certificates for this purpose - at a price set by law. A certificate entitles you to emit one ton of CO2 and currently costs 30 euros. Much...
