Likewise, the finite nature of fossil fuels and the...
twelve years. That means it would already be too late for the 2030 climate targets, and probably too late for the 2035 targets. Sven Teske, University of Technology Sydney By then we must have decarbonization of almost 80 percent in the electricity sector. In this respect, purely technically, purely mathematically and economically, this is an absolute zero number. You can also see what is really being implemented on the market: 80 percent...

some of them are now saying goodbye again. But we are used to unreliability from the CDU. Next Saturday is a real success for the Greens. We have initiated the energy transition and the decarbonization of Germany. Will the era of nuclear power end on Saturday? We will continue to use nuclear power until at least 2060. That's how long it will take to build a final repository...

Solar and wind power can be generated and energy sources can be obtained from it for less than two euros per liter - provided you invest. The energy transition and especially the decarbonization of the high-emission transport and industrial sectors require enormous amounts of green electricity, hydrogen and synthetic fuels. But where do you get it from? It is foreseeable that Germany will only...
more concise. Companies are increasingly relying on such direct long-term purchase contracts in order to become independent of price volatility on the stock market and at the same time achieve their decarbonization goals. Multi-year electricity supply contracts are a financing requirement for EEG systems. Today, operators of solar parks usually only strive for a contract in a...
The more electricity generation from sun, wind, etc. is expanded, the more expensive and dirtier it becomes. Specifically, a delayed energy transition would cause twice more CO2 emissions than a decarbonization of the energy sector by 2080 and even nine times more than a rapid energy transition by 2030, as researchers have calculated. In order to slow down climate change, an exit from fossil fuels is...
