a further development of already known batteries with zinc anode. Such zinc batteries are significantly less expensive than traditional lithium-ion batteries and use readily available raw materials such as steel, zinc and potassium hydroxide. The scientists in the Zn-H2 consortium have now combined this battery technology with alkaline water electrolysis to create the novel...

only notebooks and smartphones, toys, remote controls and other small devices receive wireless power, but also act as the most important energy storage device for electromobility. But the raw materials for the batteries are scarce: the indispensable lithium in particular is in demand worldwide and is becoming increasingly valuable. There are also lithium deposits in Germany, but whether exploitation is worthwhile remains to be seen...

Covering global electricity needs So far underestimated An international research group says in an article in the Joule portal (“Solar photovoltaics is ready to power a sustainable future”) that raw materials and the availability of land do not represent a real obstacle to a global energy system based on solar energy. Accordingly, the forecasts for photovoltaic growth should...
Hand in hand. Why the energy transition is more than climate protection. The Global Peace Index has shown for decades that war zones around the world overlap with the places where the energy resources uranium, coal, oil and natural gas are found, mined or transported. Energy resources have always been an important trigger, catalyst and supporting factor in international...

Emissions | Climate change How much emissions does the energy transition cause? Delayed transition could drastically increase additional CO2 emissions. It depends on the speed: How many raw materials, energy and CO2 emissions the global energy transition requires depends crucially on the speed of its implementation. Because the slower electricity generation from sun, wind, etc. is expanded, the more expensive...
overtake the world. Since the beginning of modern times, the world's population has been growing faster than ever before - with consequences for us and our planet. Because the more people there are, the more space, energy and raw materials we use. Humanity's energy consumption is already exceeding anything ever seen and there are now more man-made materials than biomass on Earth. Also nature...
Jevons paradox In economics, the Jevons paradox is an observation by William Stanley Jevons, according to which technical progress that allows the more efficient use of a raw material ultimately leads to an increased use of this raw material instead of decreasing it. In a broader sense, we now speak of a rebound effect. General In his 1865...
