Das umfasse nicht nur die Emissionen aus seiner Erdgas- und Rohölförderung, so die Richter, sondern schließe auch die an Kunden, etwa Tankstellen und Fluggesellschaften, verkauften Kraftstoffe mit ein. Die Folge der Entscheidung würde wahrscheinlich eine deutliche Reduktion der Fördermengen bis 2030 bedeuten – und damit den Anfang vom Ende von Shells fossilem Geschäftsmodell. Doch...

... * Bpb - Federal Agency for Political Education Energy Policy The energy transition presents Germany with major challenges. The phase-out of nuclear energy has been completed. Fossil fuels should also be replaced by renewable energy in the long term. This requires huge investments. Energy policy plays a crucial role if Germany meets its climate goals...
Driven vehicles have "very clear advantages over combustion vehicles, especially when it comes to climate protection, even if they are operated with e-fuels, i.e. electricity-based synthetic fuels, in the future." The study was carried out as part of a three-year large-scale project at the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (Ifeu) in Heidelberg... * February 1, 2010 (INES Klass.?)...
than the fuel tax subsidy. As early as 2008, the Federal Environment Agency criticized the partial tax refund for agricultural diesel. It was already clear back then: the cheaper the fossil fuel, the less incentive agriculture and the agricultural technology industry have to reduce diesel consumption... * Truth | Communication | Fake fascisation through fake news The Spanish journalist and...
which is urgently required. Others say that, firstly, it is too late and secondly, the wording of the final document contains too many loopholes and fig leaves. From a reference to "low CO₂ emissions" fuels to the explicit mention of technologies like "carbon capture and storage" whose efficiency is a world away from orders of magnitude that the world...

To comply, emissions must fall dramatically. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, they need to be roughly halved by 2030 in order to be practically zero by 2050. The combustion of fossil fuels is the main source of CO2 emissions. One could say: It basically follows from the Paris climate agreement that the use of coal, oil and gas must come to an end. An international...
THTR Circular No. 156, December 2023
Part of Patagonia (Punta Arenas), supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics, Siemens Energy and Porsche have built the world's first commercial e-fuels (synthetic fuels) plant. For this purpose, thousands of wind turbines are to be built in the area of the Mapuche Indians. The intended use is remarkable: "The plan is to produce 130.000...

Sailing More than 20 large corporations from Amazon to Ikea to Tchibo are tendering for CO2-free shipping. This should be an incentive for shipowners and manufacturers of hydrogen and “green” fuels. Around 90 percent of world trade is carried out by sea. The fleet - whether freighters, container ships or tankers - is powered by heavy oil, an extremely environmentally and...
When it comes to basic child security, so-called e-fuels are given tax advantages. As reported, the minister is considering exempting car owners who only use fuel synthesized with (a lot of) electricity from vehicle tax. In terms of energy, it's pure madness because of the low efficiency of the conversion processes. Greenpeace: 16 billion for climate-damaging industry But that...

Synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, is an important intermediate product for chemical raw materials such as ammonia and methanol, but also for the production of synthetic fuels in the form of e-fuels. Until now, syngas has primarily been produced using fossil fuels. In recent years, however, scientists have developed a variety of technologies to...
Even then, this is considered bad form for fossil capital. The FDP drama was linked to a campaign by the German auto industry to promote eFuels - allegedly ecologically produced fuels that, in the eyes of the auto industry, are essential for climate-neutral passenger transport. In reality, this industry only cares about its planet-destroying and...

Nuuk (Greenland). Ammonia is a compound made of nitrogen and hydrogen that is needed, among other things, in fertilizer production. The frequently used chemical can also be used as fuel for internal combustion engines and can be used in internal combustion engines. However, only a small proportion of the global ammonia required is currently supplied with renewable energies...
Fuels from renewable energies The potential is there: In order to convert transport and industry to renewable energies, enormous amounts of green electricity, hydrogen and alternative fuels are needed - too much to produce them entirely in our own country. However, appropriate systems in the Middle East and North Africa could offer a solution. According to a study, there could be...
that everyone is talking about in the climate debate. It can be used to replace fossil fuels and achieve climate goals. As an energy source, storage medium or for the production of synthetic fuels for industry, shipping or aircraft. But green, climate-neutral hydrogen in particular is in short supply and, according to forecasts, will probably remain so until 2040 (Nature Energy: Odenweller et al.,...
When it comes to whether the climate crisis can still be stopped, it is obvious. Their role is to push politics forward with criticism. [...] By switching from fossil fuels to green electricity, the final energy requirement for transport and heating is falling: one liter of diesel has an energy content of around 10 kilowatt hours. This means that a Golf class car comes in around 17...
